Don’t miss this

Posted on February 12, 2007 by Melissa Worden

Feels weird to blog about my own blog, but here goes:

Rob Curley posted a comment to the On OnBeing post I made a few days ago (regarding Patrick Beeson’s comment). I’d hate for it to get buried in the comments section because he makes some good points about monetizing — or rather, not monetizing — this project, including:

“Why are online journalists treated so differently at most newspapers than the print journalists are? I mean, if a print editor was planning a huge enterprise project that was going to be really special for the newspaper (and would take some resources to do successfully), would people ask that print editor how he or she was going to monetize it? Never. “

Update: Props to Patrick, of course, for bringing up the question.

    Don’t I get props for posing the question? :)

    Your entry is the talk of the (journalism)blogosphere this morning, BTW.

    Of course you do. I thought that was obvious in the post Rob made, so the oversight was completely unintentional.

    Props have been added. Your comment was obviously a thought-provoking one. And I beg to differ: It’s your and Rob’s comments that are the talk of the blogoshphere this morning. :)
