Tasha is a good example. She is paid for her column on a weekly basis, and she does one for us and one for the National Post at the same rate. She also has a radio show. She's stringing together a life, a little bit here, a little bit there. The term in the news business is “stringers”. You get pieces of string and you eventually pull together a rope. That's how you build a career in most modern businesses. I've been a freelancer far more than I've been gainfully employed in a newsroom. That's just the nature of the business.
