A new national freelance market?
This report in today's New York Times presents a possible new freelance market for all you health and wellness freelancers out there.
USA Weekend Smart Health, which will be published midweek as opposed to weekend, is being published by Gannett.
The
spinoff, titled USA Weekend HealthSmart, was distributed by 76 of the
600 newspapers that carry USA Weekend, including The Chicago Sun-Times,
The Detroit Free Press, The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and Newsday. The
76 newspapers have an estimated circulation of 7.5 million; the total
USA Weekend circulation is 22.7 million.
The 32-page issue of
USA Weekend HealthSmart carries a cover date of June 19-22 and is
billed as "a special midweek edition of your favorite weekend
magazine." It includes articles on topics like allergies, asthma,
A.D.H.D. (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder), cholesterol and
migraines.Advance, which owns my hometown paper The Plain
Dealer, does a monthly publication I write for called Smart Health.
Articles are typically short with one or two sources, but the pay is on
the higher end for Northeast Ohio.
There's word that Gannett is considering another spinoff for food.
