Heard, or read, not long ago someone (frmr congresscritter? Brain blank) saying they thought part of the super-partisan hatefulness on Capitol Hill today, compared to say 15 – 20 yrs ago, was that most no longer bring their families with them. Instead they travel home every weekend (also to campaign/raise money/see constituents) and are not around to socialize with each other, therefore never really get to know people in other party. When they had more social contact evenings and weekends, they were less likely to demonize the “other” side the way they do today.
So, living in office because they’re maintaining the family back home, instead of selling the district home and buying/renting in DC, bringing the family and settling them in. Even on $200k, at DC prices, handling 2 mortgages could be difficult.
Not saying I approve; when I took my job in rural Okla and noticed the shiny new (renovated storefront) office had a shower, I had a bad feeling about expectations… As it happened, we opened at height of gas patch boom of the early ’80′s, housing was tought to find, and our new paralegal (we were all new, it was a newly opened office) did live there several weeks til she found an affordable place.
Is AOL destroying journalism for page views?
In a Sherlock worthy snag, Business Insider editors have gotten their paws on “The AOL Way,” a full on 58-page long company plan to turn AOL into a media empire.
AOL CEO, Tim Armstrong wants AOL editorial, which includes TechCrunch, whom they purchased last fall, to become an e-pulp mill ceaselessly churning out stories that are optimized for search engines and profitability above all else.
He wants to increase its stories per day from 2,000 to 15,000; bump pageviews per story to jump from 1,500 to 7,000; increase video stories to go from being 4% of all stories produced to 70%.
As BI reports, Armstrong’s “lieutenants are making their way through the company’s many editorial divisions, training them on The AOL Way.”
The AOL Way includes guidelines such as when the story calls for it, editors should be willing to boost traffic by 5 to 10% with search ads and other ‘paid media’ and editors should decide whether to produce content based on ‘the profitability consideration.’”
Needless to say, writers are not happy… and who’s to blame them? AOL’s money-mongering ways will be its journalistic demise.
We will update with more details as we have them.
