@aardvark @bryanruby @ianb @damien @Edent @ProPublica But i'm also not going to tell people to stop doing this because general journalism would cease to exist. i don't care how good and careful your work is, how well you run your newspaper, if you're not catering to rich people, or you're not selling data about normal people, and you're not hyperlocal and *very* beloved, you're not making a living in for-profit journalism. that... takes data first and foremost.
