Is it the absolute bottom of the barrel that major in journalism?

Question

Seems to accumulate airhead bimbos and blustering fatheads. Who the h**l picks these "experts."

Answer 1

Ooh, you aren't going to like my answer. But I'll try it anyway

Actually, journalists are some of the smartest, most interesting people around. They usually are curious and quick, and are interested in language and writing skills. Plus, they aren't driven by money, but by a genuine interest in serving the public and delivering an honest report. Most could make a lot more elsewhere.

The people that cover events, whether it be news, sports, politics, or whatever, usually are more interesting than the ones in the proverbial arena. I'm not saying they all are perfect, because that's far from the case. Television, in particular, seems to suffer some times from worrying too much about appearance than about substance -- which might be part of your complaint. But many are hard-working individuals who know their stuff.

Answer 4

I know what you mean.  What ever happen to the next Hunter S. Thompson?  It's beyond self serving these days.  I wouldn't doubt if they pick these people becasue they make the company look go instead of telling the truth.  The broadcast news is the same too.
