Baby steps for Web-based journalism
Last month, I shared the surprising (to me) news that the Huffington Post has 61 full-time paid staffers.
Today, I learned that Talking Points Memo plans to add eight new editorial positions and open a bureau here in Washington, D.C.
The site currently employs 13 people, so I don't want to imply that there are thousands of new journalism jobs being created.
Edit: But given how many traditional newspapers have pared down or shuttered their D.C. bureaus entirely, it is encouraging to see new positions sprouting up.

Some of them should be copy-editing positions: you mean pared, rather than paired.
Ha! Well, it's a good thing for me that I'm not up for one of those jobs.
