Follow on Google News | Freelance Writers disillusioned by BBC hypocrisyAs more and more freelance writers are becoming disillusioned after having to take low pay or unpaid positions, the BBC has been accused of hypocrisy and exploiting writers.
The show, which is now in its 76th series, previously attacked the governments ‘workfare’ However, an experienced freelance writer has revealed he rejected an offer from the BBC of £50 for two full day’s work on the show. He was advised that the fee was for ‘expenses’ A spokesperson for Radio 4 said: ‘The trial writer’s slot gives emerging freelance writers the opportunity to work alongside The News Quiz writing team. While writers are paid £50 and credited in the programme if their material is used on-air, the real benefit of the trial writer’s slot is giving up-and-coming writers invaluable experience which will hopefully lead to further writing opportunities. Yet sources suggest freelance writers are becoming disillusioned due to a ‘trustafarian’ # # # About The Freelance Writer The Freelance Writer is a one-stop shop offering unique and bespoke written content solutions.
