Tweet this: Pay us or else.
It seems that every story begins as a Tweet or a post. The amateurs use them to source and update stories in newspapers and on news broadcasts. They link to our Twitter feeds, blogs, photos and video. They’ve created their own Twitter accounts and started blogs. They publish streams and comments. They link to our work. They Google our sources, frequently without permission or attribution.
Now news publishers want to charge for their tweets.
Time to protect our content and our craft. Time to receive fair compensation for our work. Time to put a wall around interactive communications and charge media outlets a subscription fee to access our tweets.
