Academics speaking to journalists, be prepared for this. You might spend hours sharing expertise that takes years to accumulate, and then, oops. Cut for length (though your content will make it in!). Negotiate before giving up your time for free, or write your own piece.https://twitter.com/ShibaniMahtani/status/1154698844527112192 …

What do you mean by negotiate? My impression is that journalists often have strict rules they must follow around such things, or perhaps even be fired. (I personally think some of those should be relaxed when not doing accountability journalism.)

Unfortunately this often isn't an option for journalists who are employed extremely precariously. In many cases your editor has the final say on whether you get to come back and keep making an income. I would have scoffed at this concern before I was in this exact position.

Then you’re not in a position to do this work at all. Editors doing this sucks for everyone, but it doesn’t mean academics have to prop it up with their free labor. Once all the sources they need stop talking to them, practices will change.
