I think there's still a difference here with respect to writing styles and audiences. In most humanities specialties you'll be writing for an academic audience (and depending on your focus, potentially one with a very narrow band of shared knowledge/terminology).
A lot of what you learn there can get in the way when you need to reach a general/lay audience.
- beepbooptheory 3y agoJournalism is the same way though. They write highly technical papers for academic audiences. Journalism is just distinct in that there are marginally more jobs you can get where you practice direct skills/techniques around the domains. In the rest you can still get this kind of with teaching!
- abathur 3y agoSure, but we aren't discussing how everyone should just go teach journalism or the humanities.
