    You claimed journalists became journalists because they couldn’t hack it. Which is obvious nonsense given the fact that there are university courses for journalism. Meaning people intend to become journalists.

    I get it. It’s hot to be anti-“the media” right now, but your claims are just reading like a zealot ranting.

      You’ve obviously never been in a journalism department in a university. See previous TL;DR

          Nope, just someone who knows people in the business and has been working in academia for years with various departments.

          Personally, I was never a journalism major. But close friends, roommates, and acquaintances were journalism students, mostly with aspirations of eventually becoming published authors. Plus, I work directly with people both in journalism and in English writing departments, so I’ve had plenty of time and evidence to form an unbiased opinion
