When Philip Balboni sold his international news website GlobalPost toWGBH’s Public Radio International last year, he could have exited journalism as well. After all, he’s been in the business for 49 years now. But “I realized, unexpectedly, that I wasn’t ready to leave my profession,” Balboni said.
Instead, he began thinking about email newsletters. “I became enthusiastic about the possibility of working on something that is sustaining and sustainable, that doesn’t depend on all of the things that are outside of journalists’ control now, like advertising technology and social media,” Balboni said. “At GlobalPost, I saw that loss of control over so many things that are important to your success.”
