Why aren’t you in a major daily newspaper????

Because nobody would hire me. Actually, I wouldn’t hire myself either. Most people who post on the site (with some exceptions) are probably happy they have day jobs. There is a certain benefit to not having to sing for your supper. I’m going to make the bold prediction that in the future many more will write than do today and that we will all find some way to monetize our information output (lawyers and consultants already do) but fewer will write in the generalist and journalistic sense implied by the old news model. I don’t think journalism is going away. It’s just changing form.
