    Not saying I drive a ton of traffic, but paywalls at WaPost & NYT are making me much less likely to tweet or link (or read) their stuff.

        WaPo paywall is stupid when it blocks traffic/weather/transit info. They block links from Twitter now too, didn't used to.

        What's crazy is, it's cheaper to buy Sunday delivery to get digital access than to just go digital only. Backwards.

        Thank you. Seriously. I hit arbitrary WaPo limit. (No idea how.) Now I'm locked out until who knows when. Annoying.

        there are other models that work better for revenue, UX, etc. where everyone still gets paid.

        I know, who wants to pay for stuff, right? And those journalists certainly doesn't deserve to be paid for their work, right?

        traditional PR is dying. All the agencies I know are migrating to content.

        Dying might be a little strong. Part of a new mix is definite.

        Fair enough. But as a reporter I get leads via social and content now. PR is mainly for contacts.

        Not everyone's interested in monetizing through clickfarming half-naked women I guess.

        you are an author and a commentator for CNN, yet you're OK with exposing yourself as a free-loading cheapskate? Yikes.
