Yes, which as you know, Garth, is also the practice at Esquire or the New Yorker. I was a paid columnist for Referee magazine from 1984 to 1995. I bought my subscription each year, just like everyone else.But your point is well taken. Just because everyone else does it shouldn't mean Officiating.com must do it. Beginning this week, writers will receive copies of their articles.

EVERYONE ELSE? Wow. A slight generalization, maybe?
My godson who wties for Newsweek telss me this is not the practice there. Neither is it the practice at Time, the Washington Post or even the Spokane Valley Times. I'm sure my list would be longer than yours.
However, congratulations on the change. Long overdue.

Mr. Benahm: Surely you're not claiming that every free lance writer who gets a story in the
Washington Post also gets a year's subscription. Sell a humorous anecdote to the
Reader's Digest, then come back and tell us how quickly they gave you a subscription to the magazine. Naturally, full-time, salaried employees of a periodical get the magazine or newspaper. That's a given. I suggest you're experienced enough to know you're misstating the case, mixing pecans and grapefruit.
Officiating.com doesn't have any salaried writers. Neither does
Referee. Neither sports magazine offers free subscriptions.
