From what I have heard, journalism majors on most college campuses have among the lowest aggregate GPA among all majors—only education majors have lower, I believe. So 30k might be a tad too high.

The kids don’t realize with the Lefty agenda; this is all they will ever hope to earn.

[GeronL]

what news jobs?

[Tzimisce]

Well thank god we’re living in an economic boom so they can easily find good paying jobs in other fields. :)

30k is good pay to some of us.

The author demonstrates one of the basics of journalism: Who, What, Were, When, and How are minorities affected.

Racial and ethnic minority journalism graduates had a particularly difficult time finding a job,

$20,000 a semester for a Journalism major.

And those slackers are on a 5 year plan minimum.

That's for the correspondence courses. Isn't Columbia something like 30K a YEAR? Hahaha.

Have you seen their product? They're lucky they're not minimum wage. Besides, we don't need journalists. We need reporters. Old fashioned, hard-nosed, facts-craving reporters. What we have had for the past thirty years is a lot of DNC hacks waiting on the free buffets.

Drudge is a reporter. He rakes in $12 million a year. That's how hungry the market is for news. Not JOURNALISM. NEWS.

Well DUH!! After all, how RARE are 21 year old, brainless leftists??!!

As a j-school graduate, I can tell you that it’s always been a poor-paying profession until you got near the top. If you happen to be a tv news anchor in a large city or national network, it can be a well-paying gig but the grunts get paid a pittance which is part of the reason the media is staffed largely by ideology-driven zealots as opposed to objective reporters.

Those who aren’t in it for the goal of spreading an ideology left for greener pastures a long time ago.

If I owned a newspaper, my first policy would be that NO JOURNALISM MAJORS NEED APPLY.

Wow, they give degrees in partisan shilling?

[rabidralph]

They should go into technical writing if they want to get paid.

[hinckley buzzard]

This is good news. Perhaps if we weed out the J-School flunkies we can get some ambitious young writers who actually want to report what's going on.
