Carney is an outspoken advocate of freelance writers and writes frequently on his blog about the struggles that freelance journalists face both in the field and navigating the business side of the profession.

He founded the website WordRates, which operated from 2015 to 2017, to provide journalists a new way to sell and market their work.
