Doonesbury is ringing my bells lately, as I follow the story of Rick, the muckraking journalist who has suddenly been made redundant at his publication, and is now attempting to make a living blogging. Today he tells his son, "It's tough to leverage a byline in a media environment where anyone who can type gets a byline!"
Poor misguided Rick. He's still writing exposés about politicians, when he should be investigating fluff, which can also involve politicians but is much more likely to draw the big hits. Like Oddly Enough, which appears on the Reuters website.
He'll have to be ready to get the funny snapshots and come up with witty captions for them, not really his thing. But hey, it puts the chateaubriand on the table.
