Getting paid to write a blog. Isn't that the dream. You get to write and say what you want. It's completely your opinion and you write it becuase you want to. Getting money for doing it is just the icing on the cake.
And Steve Molk isn't even a qualified journalist or anything. He is just a person who wanted to write about what interested him. Brilliant.
MolksTVTalk is a great blog because it offers so much. Not only does it have Molk writing about TV shows and what he has seen but also it has videos, his podcast, he has a Youtube channel, he is on Twitter, Facebook (and something else called Linked In...) and he is even on the radio. There are so many more mediums other than just text.
Molk had a lot of interesting things to say and I think he probably could have kept talking for another hour if he had of been allowed to. And I would have continued to happily listen to what he said as it was all interesting and relevant. Traditional journalism is changing, no one can deny that but can can accept it and move with the changes instead of fighting it. I think that if you are a good writer, you write about relevant things and it's always of a good quality then you are bound to get somewhere.
You get to publish your own stuff and craft your own thing, create your own brand as Molk said. Write about ANYTHING, find your specific interest and then find your 'tribe'.
