From A Big Media Company To A Small One And Back Again
from the that-was-fast dept
A column from a Time Magazine reporter who left Time to go work for a small internet content company, lasted six months, and then came back. He attempts to give the lessons he learned which can basically be summarized as "just like any other dot com story you've already read", but that doesn't make a great article, so he makes a big show of explaining why his situation was different. Why? Because in his case he hated his stupid management. Of course, just about every dot commer you talk to hated his or her stupid management, so I don't really see how this story is all that different. I guess everyone wants to believe that their story is special.
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.
–The Techdirt Team
