Yaakov Buzaglo Sets Fees for Media Interviews
Former footballer and reality TV star Yaakov Buzaglo has announced he will charge for media interviews, following significant public interest after he declared his intention to vote for the "Democrats" in the upcoming elections. Buzaglo stated on Facebook that he is tired of "working for free" and that his time now has a price.
He detailed his new fee structure: 15,000 shekels for an in-studio interview up to one hour, and 10,000 shekels for a phone interview of the same duration. An additional 1,000 shekels will be charged for every extra minute beyond the first hour.
Buzaglo explained that his time, experience, and opinions are part of his work, especially when he might face criticism for expressing his views. He emphasized that he will not accept less than the stated amounts, asserting that his time and opinions have value.
This move is considered highly unusual in the media landscape, as it is not customary to pay individuals for interviews. The article concludes by asking readers for their opinion on Buzaglo's demands.
