Print Music Magazines -- who pays for writing, and who doesn't?

No need to get into how much -- I'm just curious as to which ones pay for reviews and features and etc. and which ones don't (I already know that Static-to-Noise is all volunteer and Grooves pays only for features and cover stories [and is now essentially an online concern]).

It's the eleven dollar question.

Here's what you can do instead! (This just came in!)

WORK AT ROLLING STONE AND BE ON MTV

MTV and ROLLING STONE magazine announced today that they will team up on a new reality series following aspiring journalists as they compete for a one-year staff position with the magazine. For three months, cameras will document the moves of amateur journalists as they cover a wide array of writing assignments -- including artist and entertainment profiles, national affairs, politics and pop culture. While facing tight deadlines, each candidate will work with the magazine's top editors to hone their writing skills and score interviews with major musicians, actors and politicians. Production on the series begins this summer, and the show is slated to premiere later this year. Casting begins tomorrow. The deadline for applications is April 7th.

nice that they remembered to let people know that they can still find some 'news' among the reality show application forms

why am i stupidly tempted to apply for this reality show?

If you think that looks dull, imagine how awful that show will be when the concept is picked up by a UK network. Eight young hopefuls competing for the chance to work for Word magazine.

Edit Uncut for one issue [NO 60s/70s artists covered by Uncut before or any Americana/ Alt.country Allowed]

edit NME for one issue

haha, "edit"

― geeta (geeta), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 20:31 (twenty years ago)

A reality TV show for NME writers would just be the people who didn't win the "Became the new face of T4" contest.

Seems to generally break down that if it's a magazine proper (monthly or bi-monthly) it pays and if its a 'zine (quarterly or a couple times a year) it doesn't.
