Great high-concept post on the transition from old to new journalism realities. Key quote:
So we, as journalists, have a choice: Do we want to be just “content” providers? If so, then admit you are going to rely on someone else to distribute your product and you are going to be one — small — dot on the map with relatively low value. Like any artist, you ‘ll be able to do what you are doing for its intrinsic beauty. A few will become superstars. Most will need a second job to eat.
