I think you really nailed what it takes to establish a print vs. an online career/platform. The rules for print really are arcane. I've started seriously working on a freelance career and I've had some small successes so far following those arcane rules, so it does work if you don't give up. Just wanted to say thanks for a great piece... Great article and not the same old thing I always read about careers in journalism.

I just had a networking luncheon here in Austin with a bunch of pretty savvy communications specialists, and to my surprise I was bombarded with questions about blogging (as though I were the Big Goomba Expert just because I write on 4 of them -- gosh, maybe I know more than I think.) Anyway, many of them did seem mildly annoyed at all of the work it takes; that a blog is this giant gaping maw that demands to be fed. They didn't see why it would be worth it, and it was hard for me to justify since they simply didn't really understand the whole "discussion" or community part of it. I'm going to pull out the stack of business cards that I acquired today and fire this link out to a few of them.... This is a terrific post, Penelope.

In a strange turn of events, he now writes for their magazine as well.... He has managed to do a pseudo-blog on ESPN.com as well as post regular columns. He is constantly giving advices to upstart writers/journalists and has real issues with the old line newspapers (he went straight from college to the Boston Herald). Long story short, you may want to shoot him an email and ask him to contribute to this topic. He's already written a lot about the topic and my gut says he'll write you back Adam penelope,

Hi, Mike. Really good point about taking steps. We all have to feel our way through the transition. The important thing is to be doing something. Trying things to see what works.

Everyone - Mike's blog is, in fact, way more than links to the Chronicle. I was thinking of searching for journalists who seem to be doing a good job of blending their online and print stuff. It seemed like a daunting task to make that list. So I didn't. But really, Mike's blog is a nice example for us all to check out:
