Best 50 page article you'll read this year.
- sithadmin 12y agoThis really makes me nostalgic. I miss the days when Wired actually had decent content.
- dmix 12y agoWell, journalism was also a good middle-class job back then. Magazines don't pay like they used to. Like upfront budgets to write a high-quality long piece. Reading Hunter S Thompsons letters from the 60s as a freelance journalist you can tell he was able to spend time writing quality articles, with the odd hack job thrown in for extra cash. I highly doubt there are many full-time journos left like that.
