Interesting. I had a friend who was a college reporter and broke some huge stories on our campus (women being raped, frat member having nervous breakdown, catching network hackers) and was stoked to work for a large daily when he graduated. This was back in the late 90's btw. Just as the author pointed out, he loved his job at first, then it became demanding and he went through several rounds of burnout and then saw how the news cycle was changing and how politically slanted every story he had to write was. He quit after 6 years and now just writes ad copy for a large marketing firm. He says its a lot less stressful and he also stopped reading the news since he "knows" how slanted and inaccurate the stores you read now are. He still has some fascinating stories though. . . Too bad this industry and good reporting died a long time ago.
