Bulletin Board Blab 9.29.06

The most-discussed topics on the boards today:

"I would really like to know please, how good the London School of Journalism is."

A publisher "has been threatening me with not getting paid if I 'bad mouth' either himself or his magazine. Yesterday he sent an email saying he wouldn't pay me because he found out I had told someone I hadn't gotten paid!"

"I'm in my final year of college, and last semester a senior editor at the New Yorker spoke to one of my classes. Recently, I emailed him about the magazine's famed fact-checking positions. The editor was warm and receptive, but I'm aware that most fact-checkers come from blue blood universities and are typically well-versed in two or more subjects and languages. The editor hasn't asked for my resume, but he did ask when I graduate (December.) What should I do next? "

Help me deal with a bullying TV boss!

"I'd love to hear how other freelancers manage unreasonable editors."
