Rate for newspaper chains, if columns are ordered for multiple editions, reflect total number of readers reached, regardless of how many editions run the column.

Magazines can order columns or specialized pieces for each individual publication's normal freelance rates, including considerations of all rights, first rights and so forth.

Please note, if you request a column, you are agreeing to pay for the column, even if you end up not using it. We cannot be responsible for checking every paper to see if a column that was ordered was actually used.
