It is clearly unethical. Paying for exclusive access to interviews ––such as paying for home movies of a missing child or using a company jet to bring a dad and his kidnapped child back from South America, both real-life examples –– is bad enough.

The Tortured Freelancers Department:

-Sent out 12 pitches & so far, crickets.
-Waiting months to get paid once story is finally published.
-Calling the accounting department AGAIN to try to get paid.
-A bunch of stories now due, but writer's block has kicked in.

What else??

Student media is the very foundation of the journalism industry. Especially with the increase of news deserts across the country, college news media outlets consistently fill the information void for their communities.

I urge Indiana University to find a way to keep Indiana Daily Student alive.

Just remember: this male reporter was comfortable enough to say this to a 22 year old celebrity, in front of all his peers, during a live press conference, AS PART OF HIS JOB HE GETS PAID FOR.

& we wonder why so few women are in sports journalism or journalism leadership roles?
