The journalists will be more likely to read it, because it gets the same distribution they do, it's harder to ignore. #
The writers have no reason to tiptoe around journalists because they don't care about access, and aren't trying to protect a career in journalism.#
They come into the job with no fixed ideas on how journalism works. They view things only from the readers' perspective. #
Even so they are vastly outnumbered by the people writing for the NYT who are trying to keep careers going and do care about access.#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
