Depends. I’m a creative and needed to do some unpaid stuff just to get published to a wider audience, rather than just having it on my own website. Organizations were very clear and firm from the get go they couldn’t pay me. Still, the unpaid stuff lead to the paid stuff.

However, there are lots of orgs who do take…

Easy, and it’s the same ways people are sucked into scams like the Church of Scientology, or USC’s Journalism school:

1. They have a really good recruiter. People are naturally drawn to other charming people. The recruiters, who know they hold more power and prestige than their recruits, fawn the recruits with praise,…

I don’t think Pareene voted in the last presidential election

But that’s still different as TV shows, films, etc. agree to pay a predetermined amount or rate or percentage of money before an actor even starts working.

For YouTubers, they just upload videos to the same platform with no expectation or guarantee of success. And it’s not like YouTubers are informing YouTube that…

The Social Network posits that Mark’s efforts in starting Facebook were all spurned out of anger over getting dumped by Erica Albright. It paints him as a woman-hating, well, everyone-hating loser.

In actuality, Mark has been dating the same woman since college and has since married her. He’s probably not a…

Maybe, they might have casually bumped into each other once or twice, or they feel like they are undergoing a similar ordeal, they have more in common and can connect (or at least Lori might think/feel that).

Meh

“It’s love TARS, love is what’s guiding me to her!”

“Um, pretty sure it’s hyper-evolved humans trying to get you to communicate with the only person who has the intellect to guide people off earth, who also just happens to be your daughter, but sure.”

Out of curiosity, where is your journalism job? I don’t mean to dox you, I’m in a similar situation, but can you say like this city in midwest at a large/medium paper, this major city in California at a TV station?

Again, don’t mean to dox you, just very curious as I’m in the same boat. 

Eminem’s been around for 20+ years now and has remained an incredible artist and musician, never once dipping in quality or popularity throughout that time, so that might explain it.

How egregious that a blogger, in a blog post about thinking dogs, did not include the dog from DOG WITH A BLOG

No, she has sex at no ordinary baseball field, she has sex at THE POINT

Any conversation about Sharon Tate’s lack of dialogue should include Charlie Manson’s lack of dialogue. Dude is only in the movie for like five minutes and speaks a line or two, and then it’s just his presence or reputation guiding others.

I think the entire point was to show these now mythical figures and the presence…

She knows it’s stupid too, she was just looking for a reason to spend more time with you/bond with you.

Yes but she helped make Zero Dark Thirty so all is forgiven.

If there is a Tom Hanks who can be a faithful Tom Hanks to a childhood Tom Hanks, it’s Tom Hanks

This can be fixed by one line of dialogue. “I thought they made you retire after 30 years?” “That’s true sir, but code XO91B/unique Maverick life detail/etc. allowed him to stay around.”

Margot Robbie is 29?!!?!?!!? I’m 30 and thought she was like 35 because she seems so magnetic and assured and whatnot.

-Mary Louise never makes it to the stand. While driving home one night, she gets in a normal accident on that bridge that is always being shown in the trailer and dies.

-The night of Mary Louise’s accident before it happens, Celeste drinks out of despair and frustration (we saw her drinking two things of Grey Goose, so…
