Scott Karp thinks that Every Newspaper Journalist Should Start A Blog. Why? Well, he has a lot of reasons. The one I liked: “Putting your career on a growth track by not defining yourself as a print journalist.” Good advice.
Barbara Ehrenreich at The Huffington Post has an incredible article about the fact that pasadenanow.com is recruiting reporters in India to write about Pasadena… California, I think. A must-read. (Special thanks to The Copywriter Underground for pointing me to this.)

Thanks for the “thanks.” The Pasadena story is so odd that I wondered if it was a big red flag that things had fundamentally changed, or just an odd stunt from a publicity-seeking online news service.
Time, I suppose, will tell.
Who knows? It may be a combination of both. What astounds me is that I didn’t see this coming, just the ego of someone who thinks she can’t be replaced.
