Write Four 'Mega-Pitches' and the HMC will buy your Canadian Freelance Union membership for you.
Write four 'mega-pitches' for the HMC in 2015, and we'll buy you a membership to the Canadian Freelance Union, simple as that.
The Halifax Media Co-op knows that freelance journalists work hard. We also know it can also be a tough slog for freelancers. No job security, no benefits, and sometimes no guarantee of a paycheck for your work.
That's why, this year, the Halifax Media Co-op is pleased to announce that when you write four 'mega-pitch' articles for us, we'll automatically purchase you a membership with the Canadian Freelance Union. With that, you'll be able to obtain a recognized press card, get contractual advice, obtain grievance support and get a discounted benefit plan. Things that will help your day to day freelance career.
Don't want a membership? No problem. Write four 'mega-pitches' for us in 2015 and we'll donate the price of a membership to the charity of your choice.
It's a small way of expressing thanks, from us to you, for all that you do. We wouldn't be where we are without you, freelancers.
So get writing! Send your pitches to: hmc@mediacoop.ca. We'll get back to you promptly. And yes, as usual, we pay for your stories.
