I find I’m generally suspicious of people who write primarily for lots of new media sites/blogs, with no strong personal blog. They are in the no-mans-land between staff writers at traditional media sites and bloggers. You can’t tell where they’re coming from or trying to go.

Staff writers at old newspaper/magazines... ok Op-ed contributors/occasional freelancers in old media...ok Bloggers who guest on other friendly blogs...ok Shifty characters who hop from one vague new media site to another like they’re building an art portfolio 🤔🤨🧐

I don’t know. Maintaining a personal blog in this day and age, if you don’t have a long-standing audience, is pretty thankless. It might be more principled, but it’s not unreasonable to come down on the side of getting paid (I would if I could.)
