What does journalism without intelligence look like?
We have already found out.
Shove it, journalists. Shove it often, deep and painfully.
Back in the early 2000s, I was helping create a database of every US college, and their average applicant's SAT/ACT scores and GPA and IQ, further broken down by the individual schools within the university system...
As I was a schoolteacher back then, I was saddened to see that the Schools of Education were consistently in the Bottom 5 of almost every university's list. (The sciences and med schools were almost always at the top, of course.)
But I also noticed that the one school that was pretty much always in the Bottom 2 was NOT from the Arts or the Athletics or the PoliSci majors... no, it was the Schools of Journalism that almost universally had all of the worst students and least intelligent applicants.
I doubt that has changed in the last 2 decades.
And it clearly shows.
