A journalist covering an event for an article may not even get their work published, unless they're a staff writer. But being paid on a scale like that is, I think, close to traditional papers in a sense that popular writers get paid more. An article that attracts a million hits vs one that get a hundred echos of the popularity contests of most the journalists in traditional media outlets. Oh, and if you ever get tix to a game in Portland, hook up a mate. I could be your assistant or something and hand you batteries or the like. :) Being a sport photographer at least has those merrits.

Could be good for some, could be REALLY bad for others. Everyones a journalist these days anyways, my degree doesnt mean shit anymore other than the fact that i get a fancy press badge at NCAA games and get better seats than most.
