  You'll put yourself at a significant advantage with the editors of magazines and newspaper travel sections if you can deliver a word and picture package. If you're going to deliver a finished article on spec, make sure to check back issues of the publication for the past year, often held at your local library or on the net. You don't want to be sending in a story on a destination that has recently been covered.
  Many publishers have set rates for the use of images and photo-text packages. Make sure you know what these are before you submit any work so you can negotiate if you feel inclined. It's no use complaining about what's offered after publication.
  It should be obvious, but deliver work professionally and exactly to the stated guidelines. Quality business cards and letterheads are well worth the cost. If you're submitting on disc then produce a printed label that identifies you and the contents. This presents so much better than scrawled handwriting using a marker pen.

  If you're in the right place at the right time, or more importantly the wrong place at the right time, you can join the ranks of the citizen journalist and send your pictures and videos to Demotix (www.demotix.com), a media agency that accepts images and videos from anyone with a camera phone, digital camera or camcorder. The images must be newsworthy and of interest to the wider public. If they are, Demotix will set about licensing the image to media outlets such as newspapers, magazines and TV stations around the world. Many of the pictures of interest to a media agency are also time sensitive. Images shot on a camera phone, or a camera if you have a portable computer and wireless access so you can send immediately from the location, will put you at an advantage, rather than having to get back to a computer to send.
