The Trireme-
Independent reviews

There were many contenders for this month's Trireme Award for "the worst terms since I was last chained to the oars," including an anonymous "small association" that paid a freelance £20 for an evening's photography, and a local newspaper that paid £8 for a "first pic" and for a "second pic, £2.50. But the Award goes to the Independent, which acccording to one freelance submitting to the Rate for the Job paid £0 for an 800-word review. Asked to rate how good they felt that rate was, the freelance in question chose the XX@^**!! box.
