    I had a photo in the Independent newspaper yesterday, Has anybody had a photo with them before as I dont know what is the normal fee for the pic is. I often had pic's with the local press but what they pay is not worth talking about

    Is that not the type of thing you need sorted before it goes to print?

    Sometimes its hard to sort out the fee before due to the speed needed to meet deadlines etc, I submitted pics to all the national papers in April and did not discuss payment until the following day was told by Independant group that the fee for unsolicitated pics was €65 per photo printed.

    What was the Pic of have the paper here!

    How do you actually go about submitting pics off the cuff like that?

    I only had a few hrs to get this photo in because it was Sunday and there were other photographers at this incident and it was my first time having it printed by the national papers. I phoned the head office but I could not talk to whoever was in charge so time was against me so I just e-mailed them off anyway

    I would presume that I Will be paid as my name was included with the Pic

    Fireman did you submit the photo or was it harvested from flickr or some other photo site?

    Fireman ah fair enough. Posted my question the same time you answered. If memory serves me correctly others have sent an invoice into them for payment.
