According to Oregon Media Insiders, Willamette Week is graciously inviting their freelancers to contribute - for free, mind you - to their new daily web publishing venture.

What are they promising?

But it ain’t a blog, dammit. It’s breaking news, cultural commentary, multimedia and other stuff done daily with the same attention to detail and rigor that you’re used to in the print WW. (Finally!)

Oh, my! Guess what, fellow MB-ers! If we can grow up to be as detail-hyphen-oriented and rigorous as the WWeek people (we’ve already got the ‘working for free’ angle down pat, thanks), maybe then we can grow up to be a Real Paper too!
