I'm the publisher of two community papers, been in the business all my life and never known any small paper to pay more than pocket change. Our resources are just too small. We have a photog at each paper, but we do use some free-lance shooters on occasion. We pay (I'm embarrassed to say) between $20 and $50 per shot, depending on whether we use one or more, assigned or unsolicited, quality, importance of the event to us, etc. Cheers, George
