From <a href="http://www.stuffjournalistslike.com/2008/12/3-free-food.html">Free Food</a> to <a href="http://www.stuffjournalistslike.com/2008/12/32-press-passes.html">Press Passes</a> to <a href="http://www.stuffjournalistslike.com/2008/12/29-exclusives.html">Exclusives</a>, this blog is covering everything in the ink-stained-wretch's lifestyle, including some things they <a href="http://www.stuffjournalistslike.com/2008/12/low-pay.html">really just barely tolerate</a>. For a more serious look at the Journalistic Profession during this time of Transition/Crisis/Insanity, there's always Jay Rosen, whose <a href="http://journalism.nyu.edu/pubzone/weblogs/pressthink/">PressThink blog</a> has been <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/contribute/search.mefi?site=mefi&q=PressThink">previously seen here</a> and is getting more attention than ever via (shudder) <a href="http://twitter.com/jayrosen_nyu">Twitter</a>.
