But never did I complain about it. <br /><br />It was never about the money, which Hickins, Jeff Jarvis and some so-called media economists don't understand. <br /><br />Old school journos can be rightly blamed for a lot things, especially our resistance to change. But demands for better pay?<br /><br />The only way to get that was to leave the business.Wendyhttp://inkdrainedkvetch.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24847601.post-64905054530716518502009-09-01T13:30:30.888-04:002009-09-01T13:30:30.888-04:00And Travis is paid well compared to some people I ...And Travis is paid well compared to some people I know.<br /><br />I think this guy took a thesis that applied to Ziff Davis and applied it to the industry as a whole.

He's pretty much getting machine gunned with similar stories. The more I think about it, the more I realize it is a ludicrous thesis.<br /><br />But I'd still like to hear what others think.griftdrifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509712527908530572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24847601.post-12273530933518759152009-09-01T11:41:10.280-04:002009-09-01T11:41:10.280-04:00I've got nearly 12 years professional reportin...I've got nearly 12 years professional reporting experience, a journalism degree from UGA and have risen to "senior reporter" status at The Macon Telegraph.<br /><br />I make a little more than $40,000 a year before taxes.Lucid Idiocyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10944213596158450338noreply@blogger.com
