Mar. 28th, 2012 11:07 amToday I discovered my preference for long form journalism.
I am in the middle of fixing a bunch of news article which were chewed up and spit out by a hard drive failure, and only today I thought of looking on the internet to see if those articles were cached by someone else. They were. We publish our articles for free, but of course, there are people who cache and publish our stuff for a subscription fee.
Wee. Rent seeking scum to the rescue! Well, they aren't totally scum; they make it easier for people in academia to find relevant articles, but still... it reminds me too much of the stuff Elsevier pulls.
So it turns out I have been putting paragraph breaks in the wrong places. The cached articles show that originally, the authors broke their articles into almost soundbytes. Kind of like this post. Horrible, isn't it?
Edit: Hold on, our articles aren't free. I can see them because I am looking at them from a computer in UNM's address block.
