Presumes a few things: A) that higher-paying gigs exist. The model of late is 1) blog 2) move blog to higher-paying site 3) sell higher-paying site to old media 4) profit. The old media buyout thing is dying off, though - it's just not happening as much. So the payoffs are less and less likely. B) That publishers give a shit. Gawker demonstrably doesn't. HuffPo demonstrably doesn't. Vice demonstrably doesn't. When the NYT have Jayson Blair and Dan Pink on their rap sheets the online bureaus can argue that the standards aren't as important as they were. C) That anybody really remembers. Ben Domenech still has a job. Henry Blodgett is CEO of Business Insider.
