THANK YOU. Writers and photojournalists are being taken advantage of. We're all being told "it'll be a good resume builder," or "it'll be good publicity." And we all do it. Because we really have no choice. It's upsetting that we're stuck working for free, trying to make a name for ourselves while just about every other profession is being paid for their work.
