Time's Policy
By
James R. Gaines
Time's Managing Editor James R. Gaines
Managing Editor James R. Gaines issued this policy
in April:
To be sure that everyone knows our policy on
accepting fees and/or expenses for outside speaking engagements or other
kinds of sponsored appearances, I want to make it perfectly clear: The
policy is that you may not do it. If an appearance is in the magazine's
interest we will pay for it, either from the editorial or publishing budget.
If there is some special occasion in which there is absolutely no possible
conflict (and I'm trying hard to think of one but can't), an appeal may
be made..., but without specific authorization taking fees and/or expenses
is out. Failure to conform to this policy will be regarded as a very serious
offense.
