Travcom Code of Conduct Please read the following Code of Conduct. Travcom is keen to maintain the organisation's professional status by strongly discouraging members from allowing work to be published without payment. Although we recognise that these are hard times particularly for beginner writers and photographers, we feel that to give work away for free totally devalues the time, skill and effort that has gone into producing it, makes negotiating fair rates harder for other Travcom members, and contributes to a downward spiral that is hard to halt.There is a wide range of payment rates in the market place, depending mainly on whether payment is calculated by word count or individual image (according to size or placement); or is a lump sum for a story or set of images; or a package deal for story and images together. We urge members to discuss payment with the editor when the story/photos are accepted, rather than waiting till after publication. |
