I haven’t sent anything in to angryjourno in a long time.
Perhaps because I haven’t been angry enough lately.
Here’s what I submitted. Maybe they’ll keep it, maybe they won’t. It cuts deeper than many of us want to feel really…
Why does CSJ (ChristopherColumbus School Of Journalism still carry the most power toward Pulitzers each year???
This is at least the third “new wave” of the “new journalism” not to mention that the Hunter S Thompsons and Ernest Hemingways of the world have come and gone.
And so should CSJ’s power have come and gone.
Nepotism and corruption should have no place in journalism; most notably when journalism’s main role since the 1500’s has been to out and illuminate that very greed and avarice.
Shame on the entire profession. Shame on each and every one of us for not spending enough of our every waking hours (and some of the sleeptime as well!) working on our own eternal vigilance.
