Hi,
I thought people who write into the Sun newspaper letters page should know that they have stopped paying letter writers unless they get the star letter. They used to pay £15 for letters and that was cut to £10 and now they have axed payments altogether. The star letter gets £50, but chances of getting that are very unlikley. If people want to complain they can contact letters editor Amanda Greenley at [email protected].
I am hoping this is not the end of readers letters being paid for in magazines too, but who can tell. Watch this space.
This move will leave people out of pocket and writing for free.
