Hrm. Well, you don't write for the auction site any more than eBay sellers work for eBay. You're your own brand, and win or lose source-cred on your own merits.

- brandnewlow 17y agoI hear you. And that's how it will be for more and more folks, no matter what happens. Example, Megan Cotrell is a Chicago-based reporter who covers housing issues. She was with one news org (ChiTownDailyNews.org) for a while and now blogs for the Tribune company. Maybe in a year or so she'll be somewhere else. Wherever she goes, however, she takes her sources and contacts with her. So yes, she can pretty much get what she needs no matter who she's writing for. but getting to that point is a lot harder without a brand backing you up.
