NPR Freelancer Rates – effective 1/1/2012
January 1, 2012: NPR today announced a 7.5% increase across the board in standard rates paid to outside freelance and station-based contributors. This news caps a year of discussions between NPR and AIR. It is the first increase since AIR worked with NPR to launch a restructured payment system in 2002, and comes with additional news of a revised, 3-tier compensation structure – including standardized rates for tape syncs – and plans to launch in 2012 a first-ever on-line resource portal for outside contributors at NPR.org.
