Report: Moviefone Editor Dumped After 'Work for Free' Memo

On Wednesday, AllThingsD reported that Moviefone Editor-in-Chief Patricia Chui was fired from AOL’s Huffington Post Media Group after sending out an ill-received memo to fired freelancers offering them the chance to continue their work—for free. AOL is currently in the process of eliminating freelancers in an attempt to rely more on full-time writers.
 
In the memo, Chui wrote, “You will be invited to contribute as part of our non-paid blogger system; and though I know that for many of you this will not be an option financially, I strongly encourage you to consider it if you’d like to keep writing for us, because we value all of your voices and input.”
