Feeding future journalists

Not sure when I had a day like this. I could sleep in with a good consciences and just putter around doing nothing. Just do whatever came to mind without any care in the world.

Lovely!

Thought about writing a follow-up on yesterdays drunken rant. As I was half way through and finished my drink– Scotch, cranberry cordial, club soda and ice –I decided to not go ahead with it.

It’s probably a topic which you can write a 2-4000 word essay about, but I think my 600+ words sums it up nicely. At least enough that it can and should start a debate.

A debate which is needed. Because newspapers are like films, everyone wants them but nobody wants to pay for them. Technology is changing and we need to find a way to pay those who put motion and sound to the screen and those who provide you all with news.

Sharing is great! Don’t get me wrong on that. But at the end of the day, me sharing all the words I think about, combine and compile together to produce sentences, paragraphs and articles – it won’t feed us.
