Yes, as I explained, the November 2014 issue payments were more than 2
weeks late. However, the payments for the December 2014 issue of
Stereophile - the final issue to which Sam Tellig contributed - were made
on October 30, 2014, more than a week early. And yes, while there were
some occasional late payments to writers prior to the November 2014 issue,
I estimate that 98% of checks to writers were mailed in a timely manner
over the previous decades.
My routine has always been the same: the day after each issue has shipped
to the printer, I prepare payment advice letters that are mailed to the
writers, and a copy of each is submitted to the company's finance
department. As it takes about the same time for the issue to be printed
and mailed as it does for the finance department to do their thing, the
writers almost always receive a check around the same time the issue
reaches subscribers.
