I know the New York Times is one of the big $200 shoot assigners. Maybe it’s $250. And don’t get me started about newspaper assignments throughout the interior of the US where $50 is the usual. AP assignment fees are also pretty low.

Ok. I did New York Times assignments from here in Romania and was paid 250 euros.
