Maybe I'll get a side job at Burger King...so I can stay in some meat.

It's not that we don't care, it's just that upper managment won't give us the go ahead. The good news is that it looks like we might be moving towards giving higher rates to those photographers that we have worked with for a very long time (10 years or so). @Johnnie B — as a photo editor at a major magazine I just want to say that we have been fighting to raise rates for years.

I could understand the reluctance to use someone new if you worked at an agency and there was real money on the table. What are you risking with editorial? A paltry $350 - $500 assignment fee (unless you're at Business Week or Forbes where they pay a decent rate)? Which begs the question - why are rates so low? Rates today are the same as when I started in 1992. Why? Do photo editors realize this? Do they care? What can be done to raise the rates? Why is this?
