From: "Tim Smith" <tim () stencilgroup com> To: "Dave Farber" <farber () cis upenn edu> Hi Dave, As something of an Internet influencer yourself, I thought you'd enjoy this article. Regards, Tim Media's pecking order By John C. Dvorak, PC Magazine February 17, 1999 9:46 AM PT URL: http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/comment/0,5859,2210128,00.html A friend of mine was recently offered a lot more money than he already makes at a major newspaper to go to work writing full-time for a news-oriented Web site. He was also offered a slew of stock options to sweeten the deal. Despite the increase in pay, he couldn't bring himself to take the deal because he felt he would be lowering himself a few rungs on the media pecking-order ladder. Money isn't everything. He was concerned about credibility, power, and prestige. The Web just doesn't currently provide it. The question in my mind is: will it ever? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tim Smith The Stencil Group tim () stencilgroup com 415-552-0586
