Right, but then who wants to read some spammy crap like this :
http://baseballtradpin16.mixxt.com/networks/wiki/index.index

YOU published that Trading Pins. You paid some Chinese person to write a half english article to boost your search engine rankings, but how is that customer demand? The internet is ful of crap like this and personally I am offended. How or why you would receive any reward for it is beyond my level of comprehension, since I tend to overestimate the ability of search engines to judge REAL content from FAKE.

However fke your inbound link articles are, the constant links to “trading pins” make you number one in the search engine ranking. Congrats.

I have to say that the value of journalism is really what the public demands. Some say that “junk” journalism is media such as TMZ, etc…but that type is fueled by public demand, therefore value journalism can only be measured by the demand needs of the public in general.

[...] “The Internet” is, in its way, a one-stop news shop; and through, in particular, the deceptively simple innovation that is the hyperlink, news outlets are increasingly defined by connection rather than separation. (Thus, the “Web.”) And that, in turn—fundamentally, if not completely—topples the competitive underpinnings of newsgathering as a profession. Do what you do best, and link to the rest. [...]

> He then segues into an indictment of all the hard-working, dedicated journalists who got into those professions leading with their ideals rather than financial motives. Those people, who constitute the majority, have always focused on value, the value being their contribution to the betterment of society.

That’s nice, but society doesn’t much value their “ideals”.

Actually, it’s not “nice”, it’s wrong in the sense that Jarvis didn’t “seque into an indictment”. He pointed out that they’re not going to make any money. If, as Hogan says, they’re not in it for the money, that shouldn’t be a problem….

> Tighter newsrooms have already sacrificed much of this “time-wasting” journalism that time and again changed the world for the better.

“time and again” suggests that such activities are far more common than they actually are. In reality, they’re quite rare. (Not to mention that they often turn out to be overrated, Watergate anyone?) I happen to agree that they’re valuable, but since newsrooms don’t do much do them, they’re no reason to keep newsrooms alive.

good, unique, valuable to the reader is what pays. Does Hogan really believe that folks should pay for something else? Is he going to argue that the reader doesn’t know what’s valuable? Does he think that me-toos “should” be paid more?
