Hamish McKenzie, a Baltimore-based reporter for PandoDaily, has an interesting look at the evolution and current state of affairs at Paul Carr’s NSFWCorp.

Carr is about halfway towards his critical-mass subscriber goal of 10,000 for the Las Vegas based long-form journalism site. Recently, he pitched a ten-year, $200 Web-print subscription and has from the beginning of his 15-month old venture hung it on paying writers well:
