Media / Teh Internets The Magic of a Full-Time Blogging Job at the Washington Post

Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Thu, Mar 21, 2013 at 12:49 PM

Good lord. How do the human content-factories who work like this keep from spontaneously combusting? It makes putting up a few (thoughtful, nuanced, like this one, amirite?) posts on Slog while making the glory that is The Stranger every week seem like a cake walk*.

*And I mean a literal cake walk, like walking on a carpet of cakes. I would really like to do that. But then I don't like cake that much.

I can't imagine wanting to read a dozen posts a day about style. But that might be because I buy my pants online and my shirts off the clearance rack at the Gap.

Um, Jenghazi Rubin seems to be able to churn out garbage day in and day out, all day long. Of course, she is the noise and clutter of the internet and does not cut through it, nor would I follow her for style tips. This is just ridiculous...as a Post subscriber, no way.

If it were political blogging, this job would be fun--and not too hard. All you have to do is blog, that's it. Just sit there and basically shoot out Facebook posts.

Nothing, though, sounds more dreadful than pretending to be a style-maker for a buttoned-up paper. The NYT's "Sunday Styles" magazine is the worst thing that ever happened to a tree.
