Jeff -- the Kopy Karma gods dont like this behavior very much, so when your publication tanks and you go swirilin' down the s-hole, they'll have you to thank :)
Fantastically smart marketing technique, Tina. I love it--and I sincerely hope you get your $75. However, according to your website/blog, this same piece was also published on the Huffington Post, which as we all know, doesn't pay its contributors. I'm curious to know why you're OK with that, and I'm assuming it's because HuffPo is upfront about the fact that the don't pay. Still, this might be a good time and place to have that conversation: should HuffPo be paying? Why or why not?
that's incredible, can you copyright your blog? Keep sending the invoices. Did you comment on the column on the online site, so everyone reading knows the paper stole your work?
C'mon Media General and Tampa Tribune and Editor Jeff Stidham... do the right thing here. Please show the world that "journalistic ethics" really isn't an oxymoron.
Did you tell them don't publish it? If not i doubt there is a lot you can do. You sent them the article what did you want them to do with it?

Bullocks! Welcome to the club. Major newspapers have ripped off Raw Story repeatedly. Consider it a compliment, if one missing $75.

The 75$ is the least they owe you.

Only 75 dollars Tina? I am sure it's worth more than that. More power to you for asking for your payment.
