The Huffington Post Australia editor-in-chief Tory Maguire has rejected the notion that Australia’s newest media news website commissions journalists “to do work for free”.
Speaking to Mumbrella on the morning of the official launch of the local version of the news and commentary site, after a soft launch yesterday, Maguire said the blog platform and its journalism platforms are two very “distinct” things.
“The blog platform is not for journalists,” she said.
Surprising that she would say that really
So if professional journalists pitch to HuffPo Oz, and a story ida is accepted they will be paid? At what rate?
Weird that she thinks The Punch was a place for “a range of voices”. It basically descended into Feminisits vs Angry White Dudes articles and sport with Anthony Sharwood
