I went to college so I could be a journalist. That's proof enough that I didn't know the first thing about journalism, or I could have saved four years of student loans, but that's also a 20 year old moot point.
Truth is, I was an information junkie, and it seemed to me, way back in the late '80s, that the best way to get that fix was to wrangle a job in a newsroom somewhere. I would have been perfectly content as the guy watching the wire feed come in, pulling stories, editing them and pushing them on to the copy desk, because I'd get to know stuff first.
The reality of my career path set in quickly after graduation: Zoning Board meetings. School Board meetings. A wire feed that spat out little more than livestock futures and state climatological data. Cronkite on the pulse of the nation, I wasn't.
Oh, to have those simpler days back.
The internet has done exactly what I once hoped it would do -- become this w...

re: state of what union?
Well-written and well-stated. Not quite sure what the answer is, but, at the very least, voting keeps getting us off the couch cushions.
re: state of what union?
Excellent column. Passes over the easy targets and hones in on the problem.
re: a taste of christmas
Loved it!

re: the internet is always right
Hi Russ; so enjoyed your sense of humor; me, coming from an era in which I still typed poems, songs, plays on a royal typewriter, and the only passing of information back and forth had happened in the third grade, when doing so would put you in the corner for the rest of class and recess. Back then too, my friends read secreted comic books, while I read books, and we got our version of news of the world once a week at the movie house (10 cents and you can stay all day), with the highly scripted News of the World. Radio was pretty wonderful though - no talk shows, and great comedy and drama. I suppose the "large percentage of dutiful readers" younger than us (and particularly me) won't have these kind of memories; but then, they don't have to remember anything, as the Internet remembers, aghhhh, everything! Good write; thanks. Check out my CJ Carroll scribblings here.
