Blogging for Free:

Good discussion from Steven Baker on Business Week's Blogspotting blog about whether journalists should contribute a blog to a profitmaking website without compensation.

Baker is on leave and still blogging, without pay but with health insurance. Washington Post bloggers are not paid for blogging unless they spend lots of time at it (but have salaries). Blogging is so much fun lots of people do it for free. But should they, when it's on a site that makes money? Some interesting comments here. (This is a topic I'll be talking about more in a few weeks.)
