Many people have taken issue with journalism education, especially in the U.S. One major concern is that journalism education appears to be behind the industry and rarely out in front, innovating. Many people even advise against majoring in journalism.
Before I get to far into this post, I want to caution that these are just ideas that Iâ??m throwing around. I donâ??t agree with all of them, but I am hoping to get a conversation started. Honestly, Iâ??m making this post because I donâ??t really know what the future of journalism education should be.
I’d get excited about this , but I’ve been hearing this claim for 25 years. God knows my own j-school experience was plenty pitiful. I only had one prof who had anything relevant to say about how the real world worked. The rest were bitter cranks who lectured us about the many wrongs they had suffered at the hands of Babbit-ish editors.
hahahaha…..
Kinda true.
