      Wasn't about me, but as it happens, I wrote for free on the side for quite a number of years before I got a paying job doing this. I doubt I made $5,000 over the first decade I wrote on the web. You write for publicity; publicity gets you a paying job.

      Publicity is not actually the reason most journalists get into journalism. But that is the view of many non-journalists who get into journalism.

      Everybody wants people to read their work.

          There is also critical diff btw opinion/cultural criticism vs. researched & sourced journalism. But what Dan says has merit here. I'm stubborn in that I never write anywhere except for money as a policy, but it took me a decade to get to the point where now I can *dictate* that.

          Well, I guess I write on Twitter for free. But that was part of the process of getting to the point where I can choose what I want to write about and say no if the money isn't right.

          That’s your main motivation, it seems from this thread, but while people want to be read, “here I am!” is not the animating force for a large number of reporters. It just looks that way when your main interactions are Twitter.

          Journalists want to move up the news hierarchy to better regarded news organizations, no?

          in your case, it's usually more work to read your work than the work you put into it
