I'm curious how other online operations are handling freelance or
stringer material originally purchased for use in the print product.

Are you paying extra for online use of such stories, or are you paying a
flat rate for both print and online use? How have you notified
freelancers and stringers of your payment policy - in a standard,
written way, or merely in individual conversations between outside
writers and assigning editors?

I'm not curious so much about how you handle big, one-time freelance
material, such as major pieces for a Sunday magazine. I'm more
interested in how people handle day-in, day-out sort of stuff, like
travel-section pieces, stories from regional stringers who cover the
edges of circulation areas or stories from stringers who cover suburbs,
prep sports and the like.

I'd appreciate any comments, anecdotes, etc., about this matter but
would especially like copies of any payment policies and terms you
distribute to freelancers and stringers. Feel free to respond privately
to tengdahl@denverpost.com.

Thanks,
