Science is not a requirement in journalism schools................nor math................nor history.............nor economics.............
I went to a prestigious journalism school decades ago. My faculty advisor was very insistent on math, science and history courses.
I ended up with a career in engineering and statistics. J-school types were mostly just ignorant narcissists, dumber than political science majors. But not all j-school professors were that bad, way back when. I can’t even imagine the university sewers now.
…nor ethics.
