    I really appreciate your viewpoint. You have a lot of solid points. The best part: the recommendation that we go out and learn about things of the world that will shape us into better journalists. Golden advice, right there.

    It's shocking how true this is. My buddy is a cop...and he did get a degree in Criminal Justice. But he regretted it when he found out he really didn't need it. He loves history so he would probably have preferred a major in history. It would have made his schooling more interesting.

    I have just finished a bachelor's degree in Social Anthropology, but next to studies I have worked in a student TV for 3 years and I am now working as an editor in the student TV. I am really not sure what to do next. My dream is working in media, but what master's should I do? Do I continue with a social anthropology master's, or something else? I just know I want to work in media, but it is hard to know what to next.

    I disagree... and I feel like this is kind of misleading. Just because you are a journalism, does not mean they are dumb about the things happening in the world! How rude considering there are many passionate about journalism at these schools.

    Isn't that an advantage of the American system of schooling with Majors and Minors. Like, you can major in Journalism, but have minors in subjects such as Political Sciences or even History. By doing that, wouldn't you have this more "open" perspective that you're on about?

    I disagree they are certain terminologies and processes you go through depending on what you are trying to get out to your audience. Yes, anyone can report news and do certain things that have to do with journalism but if we really want to be technical about certain things, you’d realize you’re lost and behind those who actually have a degree in journalism. My opinion. For you to think some people aren’t even smart makes you not smart at all. You sound so complacent; not cute.

    Except that Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro are *not* journalists...and the lack of respect for learning the principles and history of journalism is why people like this have become rich and have their own shows...because you don't hold them to proper journalistic standards.
