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 🤔🤨🧐

Maybe I’m taking this too personally because I fall under the category of “idiot” and/or “bad writer” who never could fully monetize my work even when I did this semi-professionally and now just try (and still fail) to supplement my regular job.
