Vox Media’s technology-focused site announced Tuesday that it was rolling out its first sitewide subscription service, putting some content behind a paywall.
I admit after reading it again, I was attributing a dog whistle that I don’t see now. Sorry.
You don’t get paid for your research papers being published, it’s required in may fields but it isn’t something you get paid for. Stipends are not money to live off, in most cases you barely get by. So no, money is not supporting those efforts, it’s literally corporations taking the labor of researchers and making money off it.
This seems a bit stretched.
I had to refresh my memory on the terms, but it’s basically scholarly output expectations. For many professors, it’s a requirement of their employment. I fail to see how one could say they aren’t paid for publishing works when it’s a requirement of their employment.
As for students doing research as part of their graduate studies and publishing their work, the stipend may not cover the CoL, but it’s meant to help them get by while they do their research and publish papers. Money to enable their work.
Do they need to get paid on a per paper basis they can prosper on for you to count that?
Either way, all I’m doing is trotting in on my horse trying to white knight for journalists and journalistic orgs trying to survive under capitalism.
But, yeah, equal access to quality information, journalism, data, internet, electricity, clean water, safe roads, housing, food, education, therapy, etc. for everyone should be what we’re working toward. However, that isn’t where we’re at as a society right now. In the meantime, for those of us with the means, supporting journalism we find useful is a wise move.
