What if you just want to be a writer?

November 5th, 2007 by Bryan

Great discussion going on at Len Witt’s Public Journalism Network blog, inspired by his post: Journalism wants pitcher to be catcher too. Be sure to read the comments, and also Rob Curley’s follow-up piece: I’m not sure it’s really about being the pitcher and the catcher.

The consensus would seem to be that there might be places for some pure-play “serious non-fiction writers” in the future of journalism, but they’re going to be few and far between.
