I pity the students recently graduated or still enrolled. I believe it would be unethical for schools to continue business as usual cranking out journalism students.

Just merge the “Journalism” Deptartment with Marxist Studies.

What the hell is the difference?

Looks like they want to replace it with the school of Tweeting and Facebooking, with a minor in foursquare and YouTube.

A journalism grad from Columbia could never hope to cover the student loan payments from a journalist's salary.

cranking out journo-list students.

Just something to think about. Journalism in the American university system...didn’t really exist until the 1950s. If you went to most colleges before that period and had dreams of being a newspaper guy...you got a degree in literature or just skipped college and worked yourself up from junior reporter with no degree to full-reporter with no degree.

This entire game of training people how to be journalists only caught on in the past forty years. The curious thing is that we’ve had this spiral of newspapers downward for about the same period. Makes you wonder.

No graduate of the University of Colorado J-School would ever be hired by the MSM. The school is far too conservative for their tastes.

I hired a journalism graduate to help me move last time. He is still unemployed over a year later.
