Before June 8, ABC TV journalist ABC is excellent and respected Terry Moran, not a household name nor Lightning Rod. That changed suddenly when Moran Posted on x It was Donald Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, a world -class hate, followed by an appendix that the president was also a hate. (The parcel After that was taken down.) While the statements can definitely be protected, they clearly violated the ABC and Moran policies. suspended, then rejected. Moran, although there was a left movement. On June 11, he started writing on the replacement.
Moran has participated in a movement based on a dream: journalists can start a replacement newsletter and a suitable Garner registration fee or exceed their previous salary. And they will be edited to liberate! No editor ruined copying, not censorship from the owners when advertisers complained, no company to fire you when you say that the US president is a hate. Instead, some people really live in a dream. Chris CEO recently proudly In a speech Those are more than 50 users of its users have gained million dollar revenue.
When many journalists receive push Out of their work, bored with their owners, or just want to breathe cool and cool air, now they have what seems to be a feasible escape. Recently, many of them are taking advantage of it. Jeff Bezos has been very good to replace: The recent Washington Post editor is clearly not interested in preventing democracy from dead, which has made the writer the common view of Jennifer Rubin coming. Start a publication called The ContrianAnd the editor is censored the article about comic artist Ann Telnes Now published The replacement is good. Former host MSNBC Mehdi Hassan started his own publication. Even Chuck Todd has become independent.
You may be tempted to think that the alternative revolution is shaking the platform of the press, agreeing to The star replaces Emily Sundberg That the news leaders of the news room everywhere should prohibit their gates to prevent further escape. Yes, not too fast. The replacement model can work very well for a few, but it is not easy to march and match the salary. Readers pay a high price for a voice they have enjoyed in a publication they register. And writers must get used to the idea that their width is limited to a small percentage of customers. Is sustainable replacement for writers to solve a common object?
Only last week, a group of critics published that the platform could be on the shivering ground. It begins when the newcomer comes to Eric, who has replaced his own success accounting for $ 45 million a year. He stated that they are looking for a new investment will attach importance to the company at $ 700 million. (Instead of not confirming those numbers.)
But then Puck's Dylan Byers Look at those numbers And wonder if the bottom line valuation is really less than the previous rounds. Byers, like other critics, charged that once you have overcome a few real -income people, this platform has all the trivial people flying low: the truth is that most of the content is boring, amateur or crazy, he wrote. His conclusion is that the replacement is a media company trying to be considered a technology company, this is a familiar failure for similar companies. (Once wired Failure at IPO For that reason.)
Ana Marie Cox, who once liked blogging was Wonset, even grimWritten in her newsletter, instead is not as stable as a SpaceX launch. She was not impressed with the recent line of writers. How many people replace Terry Morans have room for? She wrote. There is even a public appetite for dozens of Terry Morans, each independent Terry Moran-ing in their own newsletter?
Cox is referring to the registration tired, which is what I think about whenever a signature page is turned on when opening a new replacement. Typically, replacement experts attract a monthly fee of $ 5-10 or the annual ratio is $ 50-150. Normally, there is a free content floor, but journalists hope to create at least part of their livelihood when they replace things that are good for customers to pay. Compared to the registration of official publications, this is a terrible value proposal. After leaving the Atlantic, the famous writer Derek Thompson Start a replacement The cost of $ 80 a year, it is a penny more than a digital subscriber for the magazine he has just left! (Atlantic Maybe will spend $ 300,000 To replace him with someone else deserves to read.) Do not take too much of those registration to suit the cost of the New York Times, perhaps there are 100 good journalists like writers instead, and you can boot.
