Have you had your ideas stolen by an Editor?

Pitching means risking your ideas. I pithced an idea and was rejected. A few months later my idea was on the cover of the magazine. Surely, this is wrong? 22 Jul 2008

Do you have to have a degree to land a job at a publishing house?

I'm a fulltime Online (web) writer and freelance Journo (magazines). However, I'd love to land a fulltime job at a publishing house as a writer. I've been published by a number of well-established magazines and I'm working on a feature article for a well-known newspaper at the moment. I've tried submitting my CV for jobs at various publishing houses but I never seem to land an interview - most ask for a degree - I have a diploma and some other certificates. Surely, passion and talent should count? What am I doing wrong? 12 Nov 2007

Should all publishing houses be audited?

We all know about the recent audit of the 12 businesses of Media 24 but I think – as a member of the media and advertiser – that we work to get the ABC to do a full audit of all houses including RS&P, Associated and all concerned. 3 Oct 2007

Magazine for SA Indian women?

All the rage and then nothing. A few weeks ago, there was a huge palaver about the non-existence of a mag for Indian women. Why was this forum met with such fervor only to fizzle out like stale Enos shortly after? 24 Jul 2007
