I lost the freelance gig at the Cook County Chronicle

[strannik01]

Back on the afternoon of March 13, I got an e-mail from my editor at the Cook County Chronicle. They had to cut their freelance budget, he wrote. While I could turn in the article I worked on for that week and get paid for it, but past that, they wouldn’t pay for anything. Not even the three articles that were already approved a few weeks earlier.

Ouch. My sympathy! I hope you're able to find something else. Journalism really seems to have become harder and harder to make a living at.

Well, hell. I'm sorry.
