A colleague from Media Studies is trying to talk to a future student.
“So what do you say, CNN or BBC?”
The student just stares.
“You like Fox News, maybe?”
The student stares.
“Newspapers? Washington Post? WSJ?”
The student stares.
“What kind of things do you like to read about?” the professor perseveres. “Local news or international?”
The student stares.
“Is there a journalist you like?”
Suddenly, the student beams.
“Rush!” he says. “I’m going to get a journalism degree and be like Rush.”
The professor just stares.
“I like radio. Do you offer degrees in radio journalism?”
The professor stares.
