Here’s another interesting article from The New York Observer, this one about the situation at the Columbia School of Journalism and journalism education in general. Ron Rosenbaum presents some interesting problems and solutions, so the article is well worth your time. But I have one petty little problem with it: like so much criticism of journalism from journalists, this article is heavy on craft but light on theory. And that’s what I see as the problem with journalism and j-school education. (via MediaMinded)

I offer commentary on the rhetoric of the American conversation, especially as it unfolds in documentary film, the news media, and politics. Check out my feeds on Twitter and Instagram. Also be sure to see my work at Carbon Trace Productions, a non-profit documentary film studio in Springfield, Missouri. I am a Professor of Media & Journalism at Missouri State University.
