Chapter III: Remuneration.

Any work not provided for in the contract of employment between a newspaper or periodical company and a professional journalist attracts special remuneration.

Any work commissioned or accepted by the publisher of a press title within the meaning of article L. 132-35 of the Intellectual Property Code, regardless of the medium, is remunerated, even if it is not published.

When the work of a professional journalist gives rise to publication under the conditions defined in article L. 132-37 of the French Intellectual Property Code, the remuneration he or she receives is a salary.

The mandatory negotiations referred to in articles L. 2241-1 and L. 2241-8 also cover the salaries paid to professional journalists who contribute, on a permanent or occasional basis, to the production of a press title.
