It’s great for Medium to endorse what all of us indies have been saying for the last two years. The world doesn’t need another online left leaning newspaper. It needs a marketplace of ideas and it needs to nurture its talented amateurs. The professional model of journalism already exists, people can still do that if they want – but for those of us who don’t want to spend our life pitching, medium just became a viable alternative. Back to the 2017–2018 model with bonuses rather than elevation. Love it. Very happy.
