Reaction to Meg Heckman's article

This article really made me realize that there are so many different options for new businesses and entrepreneurs, especially when it comes to journalism.  Some people push for ad sales, others use 'clicks' to generate a profit.  Still more debate over free sites, like wordpress or blogster to create journalistic businesses, blogs or websites.  In my intro. to 21st century journalism class we were talking about kickstarter programs, open and closed websites and ways to get people to pay for journalism, so Meg's article really resonated with what I've been learning this semester.  I'm not really sure what I think the "best" way to start a new business is but I think it boosts my spirits a little and makes me a little bit more optimistic to think that there are multiple avenues for me to take.  Sometimes it kind of seems impossible to make a new business or create a new way to make money in journalism but this article actually showed that it is possible to do, yay!
