It sounds like once you touch journalism, you can't work in any other industry. You know why? Because then you're a sellout.There's truth to that -- which is why the ginormous firewall between the newsroom and sales. Any hint of money or benefit for influence peddling has been a no-no. To give you a sense, many newsrooms adopt a rule that any products or gifts received in the course of the year are auctioned off -- with proceeds going to charity.
But this disconnect to ply one's craft in a bubble, is precisely what we are all railing against now:
Why don't journalists get on board? Why don't they embrace new media? Why don't they take more of a business interest?Because it has been an anathema to their total being for-ever!
Thanks for the tip Romenesko!
