I had a column in a weekly shopping newspaper on geneology for about six months. I didn't get paid, but it had 150K circ so I was getting my stuff out there. The paper unfortunately was a shopping newspaper, and under the thumb of a chain, so that when it couldn't sell enough ads to justify the circ disappeared... Oh well. I was stopped on the street a couple of times by people I had an aquaintance with an told "I read your article" Does that count? I know how good I felt. The time one person told me rhey actually looked forward to reading my column because it was the only thing good about the little paper... that had me dancing on the stars. I've had a couple of editorials printed in the local paper circ about 500k, but nobody reads editorials do they?
