Here’s what’s shitty about the media industry right now

Another app (Discors) was just given $1.2 million ($50,000 from Matter Ventures, the rest from angels and the founders) to aggregate news other people create.

This morning I told a photojournalist I couldn’t pay him for his work. It’s likely no one will pay him for it.

Other freelance journalists I’ve talked to say they’re resigned to doing shitty commercial jobs to pay the bills and doing journalism for free.
