Funny how I thought (and was paid accordingly) that it was for one paper, the National Post. But of course nothing is as it seems, or should be. I wish I was getting and extra Ten Bucks per use or at least some nostalgic Canadian Tire money for the extra ink.
So share and share they will, but not much extra sharing to the photographers.
Of course, if you want an ad to appear in multiple papers, you have to pay extra for each additional paper and the cost will depend on each paper's circulation or readership.
Dave, you may recall a time when Sun photographers were paid an extra $10 each time one of their photos appeared in a sister Sun paper. At first it was automatic, then a photographer had to search to see if their pictures had been published in another paper and make a claim, and finally the extra pay was cancelled.
When I asked the Sun Media CEO why it was cancelled, he replied, "I like to think that employees are paid well enough that you don't need the extra money."
At that time (in the mid-1990s), what I earned in a week, the CEO earned in less than two hours. Or to rephrase it, to earn what the CEO earned in one day, I needed a month. At that rate, who needs "extra" money?
