Has your digital platform affected your contracts with freelancers? If it has, or if you're concerned about the impact digital media has on editor/freelancer relationships, consider logging on to the American Society of Business Publication Editors' (ASBPE) webinar: "Managing the Editor-Freelancer Relationship in the Digital Age," Friday, Oct. 19th.
Consider this:
Do you or your editors pay freelancers based on a Web-centric, performance-based pay model, in which freelancers are paid based on the number of "hits" or "visitors" their articles generate?
Freelancers, are you comfortable with pitching stories with a video/podcast/slideshow/animation/mashup to go with it? If you're not, you should be.
During the October 19 webinar, Chris Linquist, Online Editorial Director, CXO Media, and Matt Bolch, an Atlanta-based freelance writer and editor will discuss:
• How much and when (upon acceptance, upon publication?) should a freelancer be paid?
• What rights will the publication retain over the freelancer's work?
• Should "kill fees" be publication policy? If so, how much?
• How to develop long-term relationships with effective freelancers?
• How should freelancers break into the B2B press?
The details in short:
