Remember that great memo from Time editor Rick Stengel this summer that demanded writers get with the web? “(E)valuations of every Time writer, correspondent, and reporter will be based on the quality and quantity of the contributions each of you makes to both the magazine and to TIME.com.â€
Turns out, a strongly worded memo only goes so far. The latest version of a proposed contract between The Newspaper Guild and Time Inc. would not require any online writing – and wouldn’t penalize writers who turn down online writing. The contract covers TIME, People, Fortune, Fortune Small Business, Sports Illustrated and Money.
