AP is famous for underpayment of outsourced journalists and even then cheating them out of their earnings on some BS clause, apart from overcharging newspapers to use their content. They are also famous for trying to block an open press in the Meltwater vs AP case. My ex who was a freelance video producer for a while gave me numbers that showed AP paid for 10-20x less consistently than a regional outlet (like Al Arabiya or CBC).
