| renny | Posted – 7/12/2006 9:26:11 AM | show profile I wrote some small FOB-type pieces for a small, upstart web site recently, and I'd like to submit them to some national mags for publication. Am I obligated to tell the mag that it's already been published somewhere, albeit for a small online pub? |
| flipflap | Posted – 7/12/2006 10:32:01 AM | show profile yes, I think they expect to be told. It s the ethical thing to do. Even if you retained the rights/did not get paid for the material, the pieces are still posted for all the world to see on the worldwide web. Look at it this way: what if you don't tell them and somebody discovers it by googling your name,the subject, etc.? |

| Newsy | Posted – 7/13/2006 4:27:04 PM | show profile I think it's always a good policy to be upfront about it...that way, you won't have problems later on if they find out you didn't tell them. |
