What will happen to individual, professional media creators in a future where large media orgs wield far less power, influence (and ability to pay)? That's what I'm grappling with. I've not seen a model that deals with the future reality of professional journalism yet. It's almost an emperor-has-no-clothes situation... we all see it coming, but no one knows what to do about it....

I think the point was that newspapers as a whole should be doing this.

While this strategy can work for a select few (yourself, Scott, a handful of others) I'm not sure this is a viable strategy for budding professional journalists entering the market.
