If you believe Scott Carney's back-of-the-envelope math, it's vanishingly small: "The total market for long-form journalism in major magazines in America is approximately $3.6 million. To put it another way: The collective body of writers earned less than Butch Jones, a relatively unknown college football coach, earned in a single year." It didn't take long, however, for Carney's numbers to draw a skeptical reaction. Details from Romenesko.
