Chris Nolan Explains Why She is Still a Reporter
from the dot-coms-not-that-big-of-a-draw dept
An interesting, though occasionally rambling, column from Chris Nolan, who became famous last year when she was fired for partaking in the friends and family shares of a company she had never written about. She explains here why she chose to stick with reporting and go to work for some dot com like many other reporters.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
