I like my job and love my paycheck. But you make great points about the future of online news. No one knows exactly how this all will shake out, but your prediction is closer to what I think may come down than anything I have seen so far. I have been telling people that even though I face some serious questions as far as my job's future, this is a really exciting time to be doing what I am doing.
