The Life And Death Of American Journalism: Not As Exciting As It Sounds (which isn't saying much)

Saw some reporters who wrote a book called The Life And Death Of American Journalism. As the name suggests, said book is about how completely screwed American journalism is. Their solution? Subsidize! Just have the government pay for everything. Thirty billion dollars a year is all we need. And it'll save journalism. Yeah! That sounds like it'd be giving the government too much power? Well, maybe they should. Capitalism is what got us into this mess!

Ug... They were nice enough. I even interviewed one of them after but I really can't stand going to stuff like this. I probably should care more about it since technically speaking this is the profession that I'm going into but I really just don't have any interest in politics or economics. Never have, never will. I've got a nice little 750 word essay to write on the thing too, just to rub salt in the wound. Its kind of sad because I've got like six pages of notes but I don't actually remember half of them ever being said. I am starting to suspect that being a reporter kind of sucks.
