Blogging Induces Stress

According to an article in the New York Times,
professional bloggers may be blogging themselves to death. Ok well maybe not death, but apparently it's an intense and stressful job. Wait...people get paid to blog? Geeze, I was just doing this for fun.
People who make their careers out of blogging, spend their time trying to break the latest news or uncover something new. It seems that since blogging is the new journalism, it's taking on the lifestyle of those old style investigatory reporters we've only seen in fiction. (Think Lois Lane uncovering the latest scoop in Superman comics.) Alright, maybe a 100 word blog post isn't always hard hitting news. Nevertheless, these bloggers are working hard for the money - the first to break the story gets the glory and the clicks. The salaries the story quotes are solid but not impressive. Are they really working that hard for the money? I hope they have good health insurance. Sounds like they'll need it. As for this blogger...I'll keep my day job.
