Interesting.
One of the problems with the web's "new models" for distributing news
and information was the commonly held perception that anyone who was
conscious and could tap on a keyboard qualified as a writer, so there
was no longer a need to pay for good copy. As the internet became
flooded with bad reads and lousy information, it became apparent that
some parts of the new model were broken when they left the factory.
And while most Craig's list ads still offer only experience or two
cents a word as compensation for writers, I've found that more and
more serious providers of information are willing to pay good money
for web-published copy. The turnaround has turned around, and it's
once again possible to earn a decent living as a freelance writer.
