Advertising pays for content the same way the ads on the radio pay for
licensing fees. A free "rag" is required to cover all their costs with
advertising. Or maybe they should only publish content that is free.
I'm sure Bill Woodward would be glad to work for free and jettison the
corporate reins that kept him from writing anything of value. Oh yeah,
I forgot - he brought down a presidency within the confines of a
corporation. Even worse, a Warren Buffet-owned corporation.
By the way, I'd think I was cool if hummer paid me for one of their ads.
And I'd have a hell of a lot more time to come up with good "content."

maybe the artists should speak up instead of letting rag PR publications
that have more content in advertising space than subject matter hype
them
into oblivion, or think people think that they're cool being in a hummer
advert for instance.
