If you’re good at something, the saying goes, never do it for free.
It’s advice that The Lens has taken to heart. In 2014, The New Orleans-based local news site launched The Lens Speakers Bureau, a program created to formalize and monetize the process of getting Lens reporters to speak at local events. In exchange for a small amount of cash — usually $150 — professional, community, academic, and civic organizations can request Lens reporters to speak on some of the site’s core topics — politics, land use, schools, criminal justice, city government, and the environment.
