I have had a look at the NUJ Freelance suggested minimum rates but I imagine these are much higher than the BBC actually pays. If anyone has recent experience it would be great to hear from you, Thanks Chris Wed, 12 Mar 2008 12:56:33 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/bbc-news-website-rates As a rule the Beeb tend to either pay laughable sums or try to get pics for nothing. On top of that the BBC website contains rights grabbing terms. By submitting 'content' to them you automatically give them a Royalty Free license to re-use the stuff. Unless you can get (written) confirmation from a human being at the BBC, along with an agreed fee and license, it's hardly worth the bother.

I have also had to involve the NUJ when they haven't paid and other contractual issues. Not worth the effort IMHO Cheers Martin Off topic are you a docphot student?
