THINKING OF CALLING A NEWSPAPER? STOP!

Virtually every day, new members joining Scoopt tell us that they went to the papers first with a hot photo... but nobody wanted to listen. Why? Because newspapers, magazines and broadcasters don't really want to deal directly with the public. It's much, much easier for them to work with a professional agency, even if it means paying more for pictures.

That's what we do. Scoopt is a news agency with the kind of media access that no member of the public can get.

• How much is your picture worth -- a little or a lot?
• How do you know if you're being treated fairly or ripped off?
• Will you get a contract?
• When will you get paid?
• Will you get paid?!
• How long before you chase?
• How long before you give up and forget about it?
• Will the publication demand that you assign copyright -- which means that you no longer own your own picture and the paper is free to sell it on again (and again and again) without ever paying you another penny?

It's not easy. But that's why you have Scoopt. We're here to get you the best possible deal. Painlessly.

Snap... send... sell!
