Dear TV Freelancer, We've already drawn your attention to the piece in the current 'Broadcast' (dated 15th August) about holiday entitlement. However, probably of just as much interest - or rather, concern - to any freelancer, is the 'Rough Cut' piece on p. 25 entitled 'Not Getting Any Younger'. It's already led to a response in our discussion forum at http://pub72.ezboard.com/fuktvfreelancersfrm4 in a thread entitled: "Ageism or exploitation?" We would like to encourage you to read the piece in 'Broadcast', and respond with your views on the attitude it reflects. We are now going to be represented on the panel of the forthcoming 'Freelance Hell' discussion at the Edinburgh Television Festival. You've already contributed a lot of valuable material through us to the organisers of this discussion. But we'd also like to use the Broadcast article as a starting point for debate - and that's why we'd like to hear your specific responses to it. Our spokesperson on the panel may quote from your response at this discussion, but your identity will remain anonymous. Please send your thoughts to: ageism@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx by clicking 'reply' to this email.
