Freelance Journalists

Dear all,

I would like to warn you about free lance journalists who promise you payment (not even asked for) for stories then never hear from them again. The time and labour I have put into it is a big expense out of our funds for phoning our members usually at the shortest notice to take part can provide up to £1000.00p for these journalists

Two major magazines have been involved concerning £200.00p and one of £400,00p for our funds via a freelance from Stroud. The magazines knew about the deals but took nothing to do with it.

I have always went out of my way to help but how many times have you been disappointed by the stories end result, forgetting to put in your details of contact, switching the story to suit their own best interests and being told it was the editor who left it out.

What have they really done for you? Today’s internet and organisations like Facebook ‘s widespread publicity etc. Who needs freelancers when they are deceptive?
