Shari, so Downtown NYC is a print magazine? If so, then am I correct in assuming you're paying for the paper, the printer, the office rent, the person that drives the truck to distribute the mag to stores, or are they all working for free? I have to say how offensive it is when a print magazine has "no budget" to pay anything to the talented and educated people that create the content that your readers will read and will make your potential advertisers want to buy space. I'm not insensitive to low budget start-ups that can't afford to pay a decent rate, but geez, you can't squeeze out even a measly 100 bucks as a token of thanks for someone's work until some revenue comes in?
The online world is different. Thieves like Arianna Huffington and Tyra Banks should, in my opinion, be arrested for larceny for not paying writers while they play with millions. However, there are some online sites that truly don't have any money whatsoever, and I give them a pass for asking for a freebie until they get some ad/sponsorship revenue.
But if you're a print magazine, there's got to be some money somewhere.
Susan Frost, I hear ya' and have been on that boat too with the "guarantee" issue. And not a bad suggestion to take the "free" out of freelance. What shall the new word be? Have you noticed that editors are now referred to as curators? Seems to have only taken about 15 minutes for that change to happen.
Almost!
Thanks, but gawd another 19 years!?! Hopefully I'll meet someone with money - I'm into aspiration marriage. And at this stage of life I'm open to any sex so long as the bank balance is healthy enough.
Just realized I have another magazine that I am also hovering at the 100 assignment point. But I've only had three editors there.
