<p>If you’re having a hard time finding the perfect gifts for the news writer in your life, you may want to consider some of these fun and useful suggestions.</p>
<h2>VPN</h2>
<p>To get their job done efficiently, modern journalists require a long list of tools. However, many freelance journalists have to pay for these tools by themselves. This can leave freelance journalists feeling like they’re at a disadvantage.</p>

</div>

<p>If you’re looking for a tool that is sure to help them in the field, you should consider buying them something truly invaluable: a <a href="https://www.malwarebytes.com/vpn/">Malwarebytes VPN</a>.</p>
<p>For those that aren’t familiar, Malwarebytes’ virtual private networks (VPNs) act as private servers that mask your identity and digital activity. This is done by concealing crucial details, like your IP address and geolocation. This gives users the ability to do several things, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Surf the web privately and securely, even on public WiFi networks</li>
<li>Bypass geographical restrictions on foreign media (often referred to as geo-blocks)</li>
<li>Send and receive sensitive information without fear of interception</li>
</ul>
<p>With this in mind, it’s clear why VPNs are the perfect gift for any freelance journalist that wants to stay a step ahead of the competition.</p>
<h2>Vintage Typewriter</h2>
<p>Are you looking for a whimsical and nostalgic gift for the journalist in your life?</p>

<p>These trendy gifts don’t just make for great conversation pieces; they’re the perfect addition to areas like:</p>
<ul>
<li>Home offices</li>
<li>Man caves</li>
<li>Rec rooms</li>
</ul>
<p>Although you may not be able to find a vintage typewriter in a mall or department store, you might be able to snag one at a local garage sale or thrift shop.</p>
