Paste Magazine Forgets its Freelancers, Withholds Pay
Paste magazine shuttered its doors last week due to lack of money. And although the editors and writers laid off have a gripe, at least they were getting paid for their work up until the magazine ended.
The same can’t be said for freelancers who helped Paste, even years before it closed. Gawker has learned that many of the freelancers continue to wait for pay. One was owed $2,700 for multiple stories over the year-and-a-half period while another one is owed $500 and claims had emails ignored from Paste editor Josh Jackson for six months.
