This article is depressing. Particularly:
Every single journalism class at NYU has required me to bring the bulky [New York Times] newspaper.
This quote gives me visions of the Toy Story "Squeeze Toy Aliens", each with a newspaper in their hands, waiting for a NYT Senior Editor to come down from the sky and take one lucky student to a better place.
This article is obviously working a specific perspective and could be projecting quite a bit of personal experience / opinion into things, but it speaks volumes about the situation the paper media finds itself in.
- brandnewlow 18y agoI think that's exactly how most students at journalism schools think. I went to grad school with about 200 smart, young, clever, enterprising people, and to the best of my knowledge, I'm the only one of them who's trying to do his own thing after graduation. Many reporters are all about being "enterprising" until it comes to who they work for, then they're happy to collect a paycheck and work for the advertising guys in the back room who make more than them.
