Very interesting article from Forbes.com today: "Journalism Bust, J-School Boom." It appears that top journalism programs (including Stanford's, woo hoo!) saw a major increase in applications this past admissions cycle, despite the fact that the newspaper/magazine industry is imploding. The dean of Columbia's J-school calls journalism grad programs "less recession responsive" because few reporters go into the field for the money. Not sure if I agree with that line of logic, but it's good to know that the pipeline of top-notch journalists won't be drying up any time soon-- even if that equates to a ridiculously competitive job market.Photo courtesy of Inju.
