Does The Progressive Know...
That the Howard Zinn essay in the current issue is a reedited version of what seems to be the exact same manuscript as one published in The Nation just a few weeks ago?
Do they know they bought a reprint?
Did The Nation buy anything more than one time rights? I usually sign contracts granting publication rights for a year.
Any editor I know would be furious. If I got a reputation for sneaking rehashed stuff as new I'd never work again. Especially for a magazine that reaches substantially the same audience.
If neither publication bought exclusive rights AND they knew what they were getting, then no big deal. Otherwise, I'd be pretty peeved if I edited either mag.
Splash, out
