I studied print journalism and worked in the field for three years before stumbling into something different in 2006. Looking back, it was the perfect time to move on. But I also bought a house at that time, so it was clearly not due my keen sense of timing. I highly value my education and experience. Writing/reporting will never go away. HN is basically an all-text site. That content has to originate from somewhere. I have respect and admiration for those that write often and write well, particularly journalists. I wish that sentiment was more widespread. As is likely the case with many professions, I believe too many undervalue and minimize the skill and work involved in writing and reporting. A low barrier to access (blogs/Web sites) shouldn't correlate to a lower standard.
