What is it like to spend a year in a modern American journalism school preparing to be the next generation to enter the nation’s newsrooms? What can the nation expect from this new crop of journalists, and what should students considering a career in the news business know about what to expect in J-school?
More than two dozen students in the USC School of Journalism and Mass Communications are providing answers through a new Web log project, A J-School Year, at http://jschoolyear.blogspot.com.
The Web log contains their observations about class, balancing school with work, life’s other necessities, and about the state of journalism in general. Students and professionals are encouraged to visit the Web log, and may leave their comments on the postings.
The project was co-founded by instructor Doug Fisher and associate professor Ernest Wiggins.
