I doubt there is a local paper in the land that would pay ?30,000 for a story no matter how big it is. In the six years that I freelanced for our local paper, the editorial staff was cut from about ten to two. There used to be two editions a week plus a free paper, now it is one weekly edition. Not only that but several locals were combined so the offices were closed, and their staff were all made redundant including the editors and photographers, two of whom are used as freelancers now but are only hired on a half day rate, which was previously unheard of. It was always a full day rate even if there was only one job that day. Now 50% of the content is sourced from readers or organizers of events who have to supply their own pictures usually taken on a mobile phone, so the quality has dropped. Traditionally local papers were funded by advertising, mostly estate agents, not the cover price which probably did not even pay for the printing costs. With most advertising not on-line our local is less than half as thick as it was.
Good luck Laura getting ?30,000 - you have no chance.
I write local history articles for our local paper quite regularly. I never get paid! The only time I received any payment was back in 1989!Quote:

James
But the rest are a bit 'long in the tooth' or just aren't attractive (IMHO).
When it comes to photographs, I've noticed lots of online articles that when reporting something like say a traffic accident or a break in or whatever don't even bother with ordinary photos, they'll use screen grabs from Google maps or whatever.
The injury. The Policeman was entitled to ask them for idenity and they were entitled to ask why they had been stopped.
The situatiom was made worst by the idiot brother getting involved. However, he was technically in custody when he got injured so he is entitled to compo.
Michael and James must think they are in the school drama class with all the hand gesticulating, nobody does that in the real world other than Tony Blair.
James now has another story to sell to the newspaper.
Did David not think about selling his story of the sink hole to the newspaper.
Irene could sell her story about living with a murderer to the newspaper.
Michael could sell a story of him being racial profiled to the newspaper, this is the third time he has used that card.
Why would they buy his story when they could get plenty of such stories for nothingQuote:

In a few years from now it is likely there will be very few local papers left.Quote:

Todd is shocked to be arrested for theft.
I have no doubt that he will be back in ''the fold' in the near future.
I keep thinking that Craig's Police chum is a young Charlie Stubbs
