Eh I guess without any context then its not a very useful blog post. I'd still like to see some links or an attempt at verifying some claims. Even a byline with his industry experience would help.
- brokentone 9y agoIt's posted on TPM on the "Editor's Blog" and the byline says "Josh Marshall is editor and publisher of TalkingPointsMemo.com." what else do you need on his credentials? There are links scattered throughout, but part of the point of this post is that no one is really talking about this issue at least at the depth it deserves, so understandably it's light on references. In this case, I'd treat a lot of this as an original source.
- soared 9y agoThats completely meaningless. I've got that byline on 4 different websites. There is one link in the entire post. So because it deserves depth, he does the opposite? There are thousands of 'publishers' like this - I don't believe he's qualified to claim the industry is broken. He can't see anything from a macro perspective.
- coolgeek 9y agoHe's a Polk Award-winning journalist, he has a History PhD from Brown, and he has written for many other publications over at least the last 20 years. Given that he has a wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Marshall https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Marshall, it's pretty obvious that you're not interested in doing the slightest bit of research into the subject that you're criticizing.
- soared 9y agoAll of which should go in his by-line.
