White Paper on Photography Rates
The ASMP, American Society of Media Photographers, has published a white paper on the sate of rates paid to editorial photographers. As you may know, the news continues to get worse. However, the paper points out one advantage that photographers have over publishers: "Photographers provide the content that the publishers need. Although individual photographers cannot bargain collectively, if enough individual photographers refuse to work for inadequate pay, publishers will have no choice but to react to the forces of the free market system and increase their payments for photography."
