Fozzy makes bank

[Brian Cook]

No one is going to be happy about this, including me:

The Big Lead, an independent blog that Jason McIntyre began as a hobby, is fixated on sports media, news and gossip. Along the way, it has built a devoted, if not huge, social media following.

Now, a buyer has established a value for the blog by acquiring it for a figure in the low seven figures.

Commence throwing yourselves off bridges. I can't find one high enough in the local area.

Brian,

This is a good Journalism thread, but Chris_L started one on sports and news.

I thought it would be best to have all discussion in one place, so I locked this one (I have no power on sports and news). Anyone wishing to add should do so there.
