Comments on: BLOG: Print isn't dying – it's morphing. You should be too. http://www.unrinsight.com/?p=3227 The official student magazine of the University of Nevada, Reno.

Matija: I think the j-school being 'bloated' is a great thing. The more competition for recognition from professors will help us improve our journalism skills. This competition is going to make us better journalists, which will help us provide better reporting and nicer presentation to our audience. Plus, half of the students 'bloating' the j-school aren't going to graduate from this institution. Once they realize how much work they have to put into it, they'll drop. So hoorah for us dedicated journalism students! “Either case, the journalism school’s being bloated should be a worse sign…more competition for jobs.”

Oddly enough I was questioned by a Journalism 102 student about what I thought of all of the newspapers dying out. I thought about how pens were replaced by wordprocesors, which were then replaced by mass home computer use, then the laptop, etc. This did not end writing anywhere along the way. Are people not reading news anymore? I think not. Jessica is right, there is a great opportunity for the next thing. Maybe that is private market writing, being part of on-line group that publishes writing. We may tailor our news as we want. With the open and free platform of the internet, you may even be able to filter out partisan politics and get actual news. Your writings could be grouped with others and transmitted around the world. First you may get read because of the topic you wrote about, then you gain followers who pay more for your direct writing or even, as will be with famous people, pay more for a famous persons newsbio. We already wish to look like so and so, now you can read what so and so reads. I only write this much because my head spun on the subject for a good while afterwards. In closing, I agree with the 'We don't want them to go away.' statement. I think much of the lamenting is coming from those who, unlike Jessica, do not see a positive future. It is scary, as has been said, but only the unknown kind of scary, not the flesh-eating-zombie scary (which is really cool not scary). I am getting out my sunglasses. The future is so bright.
