As you well know, with all the free news on the net, people don’t want to have to pay for information.  So writers, like yourself, want to get the facts out there but are not getting paid.  Seems to me we are turning into a compartmentalized society with people who read and those who get bullet points from the news on TV and that is about it.  Good journalism is becoming a rarity and getting paid for it is getting to be harder and harder with all the newspapers shutting their doors. 

The sad thing is that the news on the net can be verified in a nanosecond these days but good old-fashioned news stories with depth and full explanations might never even be read by more than a handful of people.

Honor? Take a look at the site you are writing those words on, now.

To the best of my knowledge, while wowowow has interns and volunteers, contributors are paid something for their work.

Not so on Huffington. Virtually no one gets paid and this ‘model’ is becomming the standard on the web.

It’s a sad state of affairs for professional journalists and writers and Arianna H. should know better.

There’s no excuse for an owner or publisher selling ads and not compensating for professional services rendered.
