The Washington Post reporter in the Nieman piece comes across as the sort of whiny dinosaur that needs to ushered out of the industry.
Complaining that she is occasionally tasked with inserting SEO friendly terms into her leads? Big deal.
Daily news writing is inherently formulaic. Her suggestion that SEO terms are somehow interfering with her prose comes across as petty and self-absorbed.
Perhaps she would be better served pursuing a career in creative writing or poetry to preserve the integrity of her art.
