WHAT IS A CORRESPONDENT? Correspondents produce content (stories, art, photos) for the award-winning FlipSide Magazine, which is distributed to high schools on a monthly basis during the school year, and FlipSide Saturday, which is published weekly in the Saturday Gazette-Mail year-round
REQUIREMENTS: You must submit work at least every other month and attend monthly staff meetings.
STORIES: Each month when meeting notices and deadline reminders will be sent out with a story idea list attached. You can either sign up for something on it or come up with something on your own. You are allowed to write more than one story per deadline.
ART/PHOTOGRAPHY: FlipSide isn't just for writers. We also have staff members who create illustrations or take photos to go along with articles. (If you're interested in doing this and writing, that's allowed, too.) We have full color in both of our sections, so unless you choose to do black and white, you can make your work as colorful as you want it to be.
PAYMENTS: Payment is $10 for each article that meets guidelines. Photographers get either $10 for a large, dominant photo or $10 for a series (2-3) of smaller ones. Illustrations pay $10 each or $20 if it is used as the cover of the magazine.
