    i'm currently in grad school for a master's degree in photojournalism. it's strange as obviously this is discussed a lot, but nobody seems to think that all these companies are going to fail. i sure as hell do.

    it is sad, as broadcast journalism simply cannot cover the same amount of material that a well researched article or series of articles can. so much will be lost when good reporters can't get paid; it's not really like the music industry, because bands can still make money touring, there's still a tangible commercial method to be made.

    a whole lot of power will go unchecked, and a whole lot of people will be terribly uninformed & more obsessed with celebrities, if all this happens. sad.
