Is this an inside joke? Is Becky the name of the artist or not?
Why do I have to ask questions like this about the credits for a piece of professional journalism?
- synicalx 9y ago> piece of professional journalism? Does the Huffington Post count as professional journalism though?
- jancsika 9y agoI want to sharpen my teeth, so I'm going to ignore the fact that this response is a joke. Yes, it does count as journalism. * It is written by a Michael Hobbes, a contributing editor of Highline which is a new online magazine apparently owned by Huffpost * It credits an additional reporter-- Gregory Barber, who appears to have written previously for the Washington Post-- plus two additional research assistants. (Ignoring for the moment the enormous team of designers who I guess put together the novel scrolling system.) * I'm seeing fairly standard/reputable references for some of the stats-- The College Board for the stat about how much debt. students are taking on, some U.S. census references, Journal of Labor Economics out of the University of Chicago, etc. * looks to be structured as a broad advocacy piece interspersed with "slice of life" stories about millenial's struggles to get jobs with decent wages and benefits to be able to support themselves
