Interesting. They probably are getting paid by the piece. Considering the job the high paid prima donas have been doing the last few years, maybe not such a bad idea.

You are probably correct. A brother of a friend in his late 50’-60’s lost his job as a sports writer in desirable area of California’s mid coast area.

He now is a free lancer working for several fishwraps in a multi county area. He may attend several highschool football or basketball games in one night, take a few pictures at each game and do summaries when his stringers, coaches, and ? get back to him with the final score and anything big that happened when he wasn’t there.

He is a good basic reporter and does special reports for the newspapers and local tv stations and usually isn’t cited nor quoted for the story.

It seems to work for the fishwraps and him. He does what several people used to do and probably got good pay for what he now does on a per job basis.
