The Trireme Award -
Snack Media

This month's Trireme Award - for "the worst terms since I was last chained to the oars" - goes to work offered in an ad (now expired) on journalism.co.uk, which offered remuneration low enough to raise the eyebrows of Roy Greenslade in his Guardian blog. Snack Media offered a tenner for a thousand words, "non-negotiable".

Further research shows...

Snack Media offers "Bespoke SEO content, news & writer solutions". So that'll be another instance of "spinning" other people's words.
