Hi Danny and others,
As a longstanding member of the NUJ and a past and future freelance
journalist/content creator I think there are a couple of issues to
consider here.
I donšt think therešs any issue at all in getting team members or external
partners to write blog posts about work they are already doing for or with
you for free. But if youšre commissioning an external person to create
content for any platform at all as a discrete piece of work then you
really should be paying them!
NUJ rates can be found here:

This is the approach wešve taken with RES Best, Richard
