It's only worthwhile if you concentrate on journalism and Television. Dont bother with radio. Clear Channel has killed the radio star. We are a dying breed. Trust me! Please listen to me! I have made squat in radio. Dont do it! Please! Im begging you. Radio is dead!

02/25/2004 | Journalism is interesting. Really its a lot like an English major except that you go into communications theory, how to collect data efficiently, and how to manage a newsroom. Also you learn how to write using AP format. Really its a lesson on how to communicate as succintly as possible. A suggestion though, get a second major in another field. Newspapers and television stations look for writers with a background in business, the humanities or the social sciences. It's important that you know what you are writing about when writing an article.

11/15/2003 | We very much need competent journalists in this day and age. The ones we have seem to have been corrupted somehow, toeing any party line in order to further their careers. I hope that our universities are training a new cadre of objective reporters. Isn't Communications what the basketball team usually major in? It's hard to take seriously as a discipline when every single collegiate athlete seems to be a Communications major, and I haven't met too many non-athletes that major in this. Not that athletes aren't intelligent, some of the brightest people are also athletic, but it seems suspiciously like the kind of program for which showing up to class at least half the time will guarantee a passing grade.
