Syndicating Articles. By sending copies of his articles
to a number of newspapers for simultaneous publication, a
writer of special feature stories for newspapers may add to
his earnings. This method is known as syndicating. It
is made possible by the fact that the circulation of news-
papers is largely local. Since, for example, Chicago papers
are not read in New York, or Minneapolis papers in St.
Louis, these papers may well publish the same articles on
the same day. Organized newspaper syndicates furnish
many papers with reading matter of all kinds.
The same article must not, however, be sent to more
than one magazine, but a single subject may be used for
two entirely different articles intended for two magazines.
If two articles are written on the same subject, different
pictures should be secured, so that it will not be necessary
to send copies of the same illustrations to two magazines.
A^cultural journals with a distinctly sectional circulation
do not object to using syndicated articles, provided that
the journals to which the article is sent do not circulate in
the same territory.
If a writer deores to syndicate his work, he must con-
form to several requirements. First, he must make as
many good copies as he intends to send out and must se-
cure separate sets of photographs to accompany each one.
