Usage Note

Honorarredakteur is an editor or journalist employed on a fee-per-article basis rather than as a staff member. The term is common in German print and online media, where many smaller publications rely heavily on Honorarredakteure to keep costs low. Distinct from freier Mitarbeiter, who works ad hoc without a fixed arrangement.
