Here's an essay/diatribe that will set many freelance writers to nodding. It's from Justin D. Martin at Columbia Journalism Review and it makes a simple request: "Dear news organizations: Stop being deadbeats." Writes Martin, "What I’ve seen is that, more often than not, weeks after my work is published I have to contact the editor I worked with and ask where my money is. Then, I typically wait anywhere from four more weeks to three and a half months to get paid."
