Will Publications on Medium be Forever Changed?
Will such late warning nonetheless…
Medium will be changing the way publications function and how the managers of those publications can interact with authors. Long story short, all authors should get ready for a lot of private messages coming their way.
“Indeed, it’s difficult to understand any reasonable rationale behind it except to strangely desire to install more gate-keeping power in what was otherwise a good and open medium. It’s rather resonant of repealing Net-Neutrality. Now Medium will be solely dominated by their own curators and the handful of largest publications — rather than organically allowing the some great pieces to be plucked out of obscurity and assist in the promotion of good new publications.” -S. Stavrou
It sounds like medium is bowing down to the agendas of the larger (and only a few) publications on the site. Sad news for the smaller publications out there. That being said, if you would like to write for Working for Change feel free to submit a story or to reach out with more questions/suggestions.
