It very well could be that he opposes The Atlantic’s practices and is using this op-ed to speak out against it.
Why would they allow that?
Journalistic integrity.
Bureaucracy is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural
It’s not too uncommon for journals to include op-eds critical of the journal itself. Usually the author is responding to a previously published article (hence the “op”), but they can also criticize the journal’s practices or call for broader change in the industry.
I’m pretty sure the article mentions that is behind a paywall. The article writer is against it.
I agree with the sentiment, but I’m not sure how to make it work. Journalists need to make a living, but if it’s distributed free, where’s that money going to come from?
damn if only we could subsidize journalism instead of oil and meat
oh well i guess
We could but that brings its own moral issues. Can you trust a journalist to be truthful and critical of a government that signs their paycheque?
We have that in Germany. Everyone pays a monthly fee that is not controlled by the government to create unbiased news and media
