Tina Dupuy wrote a column. The Tampa Tribune published the column. The Tribune did not pay Dupuy for the column. Dupuy posted a YouTube video pointing all of this out. The Tribune has decided to pay Dupuy. Dupuy has posted a second YouTube video extolling the virtues of public embarrassment.

Tina Dupuy wants to get paid - or at least go viral. The co-host of fishbowlLA has sent a video letter to the Tampa Tribune to demand $75 for an opinion column she sent to the newspaper. The paper published it without offering her remuneration - or even notification.
