 In "The Washington Post", Alyssa Rosenberg noted PostBourgie's accomplishments in "building a ladder for all its participants.The blog gave the people who wrote there a chance to workshop their voices and refine their ideas for a smart audience, even when they didn’t have paying assignments for an idea.When one PostBourgie writer got a new job, he or she encouraged others to freelance for that new outlet and to apply for fellowships and jobs there."
