Village Voice Slammed for Not Paying Contributors to its Comics Issue
AOL and Huffington Post aside, who else is asking people to contribute just for the joy, nay the honor, of being featured in their publication?
Somewhat unexpectedly, the Village Voice.

The Village Voice devotes an entire issue to the irony of cartooning being hugely popular while cartoonists have a hard time making ends meet. Then it turns out they didn’t pay for the cartoons they used in the issue. Instead they got the cartoonists to contribute them for “exposure.”
