A new feature bringing you highlights from the mediabistro.com discussion boards. This week:

loadzoflaughs: "Are any freelance magazine writers concerned about the eventual demise of magazines, since blogs are taking storm. The pay rate of blogging sucks..."

InsomniacNOT: "Magazines aren't screwed. Some magazines are screwed. And twas always so. Time marches on. Things change. Not all blogs are cut and paste of other material. Nor are all blogs profitable. They have to be good and have readers."

Check out (or add to) the conversation here: Magazines passed over for reading blogs, instead.
