Media
Man Australia has extensive experience in securing
current affairs coverage for clients and associates.
In
some cases payment for stories has been achieved,
and this act in some circles is known as chequebook
journalism.
There
are cases on both sides as to whether talent and
agent should be remunerated for a news story.
