Too many editors still cling to the rules of print journalism, forgetting why those rules exist, and therefore failing to appreciate which can be modified or abandoned. For example, word count is preset in print because the piece needs to cover an area of a specific size on the paper. If you don't have a print distribution, it's silly to pad out writings. Just make the story as long or as short as it needs to be. Grumblescoff.
