Freelance journalists, tomorrow (23 Oct) is the deadline to tell the government how major news organisations’ bad business practices are affecting you. This explains why it matters, how to have your say, and includes our submission for inspiration: https://lnkd.in/eCtBPQgd Tim Dawson, NUJ freelance organiser, said: “Members often tell me they have not been paid for a year, or are not paid at all for significant work that is commissioned but not used. This consultation provides a golden opportunity for freelances to raise these kinds of issues.”

Freelances, there are just days left to respond to the government’s consultation on late payments and poor practices.     Make your voice heard and help #StopTheFreelanceRipOff across the media industry. Here’s how: https://lnkd.in/ebvst9yW    And please share!
