How come when I first started college, journalism was about interviewing, reporting, and writing the story, but now I find out from my own teachers that journalism is not what it use to be? How come I didn't find this out 4 years ago? I have read class readings dating back before I started college that the state of journalism is changing and journalists are going to have to pick up the slack. I just think this information should have been told to college freshmen a long time ago. I sure hope the teachers are telling this to college freshman and seniors in highschool.
I always thought it would be cool to take my own pictures and write the stories, but now that's a requirement with a lot of other things. I'm just amazed how fast a field can fall flat on it's face or just reinvent itself.
I just hope that students in high school are learning everthing there is to know about the field because it was nothing like I thought it was when I was a college freshman. Now, it's even more different.
If you have had a similar awakeing let me know.
