Story marketplace makes its play in internet-dominated media space (allaboutthestory)
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 27 Jan. 2011 ) Hands up those people who know how the world of newspapers and magazines and journalism and writing's going to play out in the internet world!
Lots of information's free, newspapers no longer have the same quantity of advertising revenue to subsidise their subscription prices, writers don't have easy ways to tout their missives.
Enter "All about the Story", a year old 'marketplace' for writers and journalists to offer their stories and for editors to pick a piece that suits their publication. The story fee is determined by the writer, and AATS clips a 20% transaction fee and pays it into a nominated account once the publisher has paid.
For sticK – science, technology, innovation & commercialisation KNOWLEDGE - is a new Wellington based news service concentrating on following the money from ideas to income. Contact editor Peter Kerr at peter.kerr055 @ gmail.com
