[QUOTE="Rob Bye, post: 395186, member: 23425"] Let me expand on the thought of sending them an invoice - you could possibly turn this into an opportunity: Daily papers only pay about $35 for a freelance image (nobody gets rich in freelance photojournalism anymore). Probably, you don't really care about collecting your due, but send them an invoice for that amount anyway. It'll get them talking amongst themselves. Wait a few days, then follow-up with a phone call. The goal here isn't to collect the amount receivable, the goal is to speak to the person responsible for running "art" in that paper. Once you get that person on the line, tell them who you are, tell them what you do with a camera, and tell them, since they "obviously like your work", maybe they've got some shoots for you in the future? Email them a link to your your website or gallery. Basically, you want to "get your name out there". What have you got to loose? They've handed you a lemon, get busy making lemonade! [/QUOTE]
