Sara Morrison writes in Columbia Journalism Review about the inaugural offering of Kickstarter-funded Matter, a pay-per-view (at 99 cents) site dedicated to longform science journalism. Its first story, by Anil Ananthaswamy, is about a man with Body Integrity Identity Disorder, a condition that causes people to want to amputate otherwise healthy limbs. More from Poynter, and Michael Meyer in CJR on the longform market.
