Thanks good brother.
I have no such agreements in place. Even the print piece I just did for Men's Health carries no such protections, but they (like VQR) have fact checkers combing every statement. But I don't generally cover breaking stuff or things that might trigger defamation litigation
That's part of the nature of places moving toward 100% 1099 labor -- investigative, topical work isn't great from a cost-benefit perspective. Historical pieces and largely harmless/positive or just offbeat features are much safer. Journalism goes kayfabe!
In 18+ years I believe there was one instance where a publication I worked for was threatened with accusations of defamation. Cannot recall the context. But I’m also confident the places I freelance for wouldn’t leave me culpable and exposed.
That’s what I was getting at before about editorial due diligence. It’s the front lines of having that coverage. I always prefer reporting for places with actual protocols in place. And try to use my best judgment and experience in the act of reporting.
