See what you just did? You called them "articles." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_(publishing_platform) Yeah - the design kicks the shit out of Blogger or Livejournal. But the content has nothing on Blogger or Livejournal. By "hybridizing" the content between professional journalists and non-professional moon-howlers, they've led you (and much of the world) into thinking that the moon-howlers are journalists.Medium is a blog-publishing platform. It was founded by Twitter co-founder Evan Williams in August 2012. The platform has evolved into a hybrid of non-professional contributions and professional, paid contributions, an example of social journalism. Some of its publications include the online music magazine Cuepoint, edited by Jonathan Shecter, and Backchannel, a technology publication edited by Steven Levy.
