who said "worry"?

I post about O stuff late because *that's when I hear about it.* If something happens in TV-land, I sometimes hear about it before the station's newsroom hears about it--because readers make sure I hear about it first. I have little trouble getting info about WW or the Merc, either.

I'm one woman. One woman homeschooling two kids and running another blog that pays the rent for this one. (OMI on average makes less than $1/day total revenue, which doesn't even cover its costs.) I completely rely on you readers to help me figure out what's going on in this town; I've never pretended otherwise. It's too much to cover without your help.

Should I just give up and let someone else do it? I could. But I doubt that person or persons would have much more luck monetizing it than I have, relegating it to hobby status at best. And most other folks with media connections are still too dependent on them to make a living to make running OMI a safe thing for them to do.

So you tell me, and I'm completely serious: What should I do, given my few (read: no) contacts at the O? I pay attention as much as I can. If there's some one-stop for info that I'm missing, tell me where it is.

If you want serious discussion of print here, you're going to have to help me make that happen. If you don't help me make that happen, well, you don't really want serious discussion of print here.
