Why not write for the New York Times?

Well, here’s a hint: because if you ever do, your work will be locked away in the cyber equivalent of an iron strongbox for the rest of its natural life, with only those who pay getting access to it.

I think it’s obvious, also, that if you’re not writing for posterity in some way, why be any kind of journalist in the first place?
