So if i were to be a journalist (and that’s a big if – like 34 million point font), then I’d have to be a journalist for the Pentagon, FBI, White House, NYPD, or another sweet organization. If I am dealing with information, I want to work for a bureau that puts information at a premium and has secrets that the public doesn’t know. From my limited exposure to SECRET material, I must say, it was the coolest thing ever.
Assuming I were to be a journalist, I would’ve had to plan out my future a long time ago, and I have no idea how i would enter the field I find so fascinating. However, we are talking in hypotheticals, and I hypothetically am disgusted by “the new media ecosystem.” I’d try to find a position that would not be influenced by it, for job security’s sake.
