There seems to be a lot more to the picture than it seems. The one thing that’s certain is that the only real way to tell what’s going on is through the use of audited circulation statements. Furthermore, though there may be a shift to online media that only reinforces the need for the development of realistic audit processes for that medium. We’ve been working with a group called Buy Safe Media (http://www.buysafemedia.com/) and they’ve got some good info on the value of audited media.

The sad part of it is, the lousy writing, and slanted point of view in the article, is an excellent example why blogging has in many instances replaced more tradition “news” outlets.

For me, I will remain unstressed and simply enjoy the publishing.

Similarly, I currently maintain 3 blogs and try to keep an update schedule where I update one of them each day. The personal one, at least three times a week, a tech blog at least twice a week, and one about religion once a week. But since I hadn’t updated in four days, I felt like I had dropped the ball on my personal committment yet again.

This isn’t about trying to please readers or anything. It’s about me wanting to become a better writer and stick to my committments. That’s what makes blogging somewhat stressful for me, and what would probably make any writer stressed over time. When I have work I want to do, but for various reasons have been unable to do it, that makes me anxious. Twitchy to sit down at a keyboard and get something done. I may not like that anxiousness, but to me the solution isn’t to write less (as the NYTimes suggests), but to write more.

Which is why I’ve spent the last 18 hours planning a complete revisioning of my website to better organize my writing and help me write more

Bloggers are known to jump on the info without verifying the sources, only to say they were the first to break the news. Do we live in the (mis)information age ?
