In this paragraph, and the guidance that follows, ’casual
journalists' include, for example, sub-editors, reporters, features
etc writers, photographers, graphic designers and layout artists.
When looking at the employment status of casual journalists
who undertake short- term engagements, the way in which the
individual carries on their occupation is likely to be significant.
The guidance at
ESM0549 onwards explains the importance
of factors personal to the worker following Hall v Lorimer
(66TC349). You should read this guidance carefully when considering
the status of journalists.
