Why study journalism anymore? A lot of my students have to be asking themselves that. The pay's terrible. The hours are long. And the ideals of the profession seem to be getting flushed (if they ever were there in the first place) by the suits who increasingly are calling the shots in the newsroom.
So it's worth noting that Robert Giles, in a new Online Journalism Review piece, has a bit of a silver lining for the Woodwards and Bernsteins of tomorrow. If you're studying journalism and want something to look up to, then give this a read.

The Finished Product
I've been at the Digital Media Workshop sponsored by the Center for Innovation in College Media for the past several days. We tried quite a bit of new things — live blogging, audio slide shows, and more. The climax was a video we produced (and I sadly voiced) on mosquito research at Vanderbilt. Students should check this out, this is the kind of stuff we're going to be doing starting next year at Simpson.
