I was also surprised that a lot of magazines use freelance writers. I always assumed that magazines had all their writers on their payroll. However, with the Internets easy access to an array of articles on line its seems that its leaving magazines in the dust. Freelance writers cut costs for magazines and makes more sense to use them. They only pay them one time and they receive a lot of articles to choose from.
I also think it's cool that a lot of the students in the class would consider pitching an article for publication. I am not the best writer so that is not something that I would consider. I do think it would take some guts and tough skin to take rejection like that. However, if the article would be accepted it would be such an honor and something that you would always be proud of.
