And the going rate for a media column by the former managing editor of the Chicago Tribune is . . .

A Huffington Post release announces:

“JAMES WARREN’S LONG-RUNNING MEDIA COMMENTARY MOVING TO THE HUFFINGTON POST

Former Chicago Tribune ‘On Magazines’ Column Becomes HuffPost Blog to Appear Every Sunday”

Oh, and by the way, Romanesko reports, the former Trib ME is doing it for free. 

Whet adds: Thanks for lowering my future net worth. You kids and your damned Internet.
