Don’t just tell us that something happened – tell us what we can do about it

On May 29, 2019 at her Speechwriter-Ghostwriter blog Jane Genova posted about Fortune Setting Up Paywall – Risky Business. She linked to a Wall Street Journal article from that same day titled Fortune to add paywall in bid to diversify revenue stream, and also to her January 28, 2019 article at O’Dwyers titled Paywalls: the high stakes.

Those of us who sometimes read articles from that ninety year old business magazine are more interested in what we can do about that paywall – like perhaps being able to leap right over it (as is shown above).  For now we can, since local public libraries (like those here in Idaho) carry Fortune in the Business Source Premier database at EBSCOhost. There are nine articles posted on June 1, 2019 from the latest Fortune 500 List. I previously discussed using libraries in a May 12, 2018 post titled A door past the Vanity Fair magazine paywall, and on December 23, 2017 in another post titled How to build a bad presentation – describe a problem but not a good solution.

Jane still is a poster girl for superficial research and thoughtless writing.
