“A national survey of 2009 journalism and communication graduates found the lowest full-time employment of any time in the study’s 24-year history. Just 55.5 percent of such graduates with a bachelor’s degree found full-time work within a year of leaving school, according to the University of Georgia’s Annual Survey of Journalism and Mass Communication Graduates.”

Hope that trend continues. York and Carleton, take heed.
We can only wish for the day when independant thought and good old-fashioned curiosity will replace this crap.

Nowhere in the story, and related discusions do they even mention the professions’ corrosive flaw: ethics.
Not one word.

But then who will report the news?

glasnost, did you mean “distort?”

I think that journalism degrees should mimic MBAs. That is, journalism is something you study AFTER you have gained competency and experience in another field, the idea being that journalism in a vacuum is not healthy.

“Just 55.5 percent of such graduates with a bachelor’s degree found full-time work within a year”
Actually that is pretty good considering other graduates don’t find anything.

after reading parts of the article and the article it links too.
Apparently, not deep enough.

What do you call 10,000 journalists at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean?

A good start?

I can see the rush for mathmatics and journalism. Actually Political Science and journalism seems like a pretty good fit. That’s mainly what journalists do right?

People who thought there weren’t any icebergs anymore?

Faster, please.

Good, watching so many urnalists via the Canadian Press gallary act like a pack of liberal koolaide drinking anti-con bigots tells me we don’t need MSM anymore especially since I have to FACT check their facts at blogs like Kates.

“The University of California at Berkeley, which has a School of Information, is among the institutions mentioned in the report as a potential model”
They are working towards 99.9999% unemployeed TOOLS of the Socialist Elite
The Shutter trend should be expanded to include Berkeley, Harvard.. Etc

From Instapundit: ““The regents voted 5 to 4 to shutter the school, approving a plan to replace it with a ‘journalism plus’ approach in which students could earn a bachelor’s degree in journalism if accompanied by another major.””
Oh ya. That’ll do a lot of good.

And the “University” of Regina.

Close them all down, along with all the colleges of education, from which the idiotic ideas that ruin public education flow. Better yet, nail shut the doors on all the law schools, as well. Level the buildings and create parks in their place; most campuses are massively over-crowded and would be greatly improved with some greenery and landscaping.

Where was this reported? Do we believe it?

If the article in question was written by a CU j-school graduate, then the reason for its closure should be self evident. The article was vague, rambling, repetitive, disjointed and completely uninformative.
I wonder what the majors and minors will be in — journalism and applied physics, journalism and pulmonary physiology, journalism and geophysics, journalism and electrical engineering?

Canadian media coverage of Justin Trudeau’s scuba diving trip.

Right Wing Hate Speech!!! Damn you, Palin!!!

University students are hereby warned that no Journalism majors can minor in Ethics or Logic. Tests have shown that students attempting those combinations suffer irreversible brain damage and then must transfer to the Political Science or Environmentalism programs and we alreday have enough idiots…sorry…right thinking individuals in those programs.

Fashions change. Writing self serving lies at leftist rags to advance socialism has become too
boring and pedestrian. The latest Trust Fund Babies are likely moving on to the greener
fields of nanny state suppression of freedom as part of the Obamugabe bureaucracy.
