Before jumping the fence and start writing for a newspaper I used to believe tech and business information was really bad in newspapers and magazines. Then I became one of the "bad writers". Truth is those articles are not "bad", they are just not written for you. Someone with a deep knowledge of the insides of Washington, or fashion, or the restaurant business will think the same about the politics, lifestyle and dining sections. I read the NYT daily and, honestly, its hard to find a better example of good journalism these days. Yes, of course not everything is Pulitzer-worthy but journalism is not different that any other endeavor. Your average is far from your best.
