    Negotiation re: SA Vapecon

    You're quite right, Marzuq - however I have been formally commissioned by Vape Magazine to cover the SA event!

    Negotiation re: SA Vapecon

    Totally with you, but I am afraid that - tragically - vaping is viewed in the same light as smoking. I have tried to change this perception and will continue to do my best, but very few publishers will touch it. I will try the Saturday Star again. Sent off a pitch yesterday, but no response yet.

    Negotiation re: SA Vapecon

    Don't be surprised. The press is no longer free. This is why so many great veteran journalists, who believe in freedom of expression, are being 'retrenched' (read fired). I was most surprised when the Argus agreed to publish my story last year! I am still trying to think of a response to Sunday...

    Negotiation re: SA Vapecon

    Hmmm. I have a good relationship with the Sunday Times lifestyle editor. I was so excited and sent her a pitch. Her one-line reply shocked the crap out of me: "We are not allowed to publish anything positive about e-cigarettes" (EDITORIAL POLICY! Put that in your pipe and vape it!!!) I'll...

    I am beyond chuffed to be able to announce that I'll be covering VapeCon for the international Vape Magazine. Anyone driving up to Joeys from CT? Although the exposure is fabulous (for us all), the bucks are not that earth-shattering.

    Negotiation re: SA Vapecon

    I hear you. As a freelance journo, the risk is on both sides - just a tad worse for me. It is so easy to get shafted (and I have been, by magazines that simply 'disappeared'. I am sure the Vape Magazine is very reputable, so not casting aspersions, and the international exposure will be great...

    Negotiation re: SA Vapecon

    I'm super-excited too. No, they're saying they will pay on publication of the article and pics (which is quite standard), and that my travel expenses are for my own account (which is also fair enough), but - as I must make my own way up, and the rate is very low for a story and pics and travel -...

    Negotiation re: SA Vapecon

    Howzit. I am busy talking to an international vape mag about doing a story about our first convention. I so badly want to do this, and know that I am the person to write this up ... BUT they are being so vague: paying in dollars after I have sent the article and paid my own way to Vape

    Hi. I haven't been on the forum for ages and have forgotten how to do basic things like private messages. If you message me I'll reply. Sorry, I know I seem like a f---wit.
