What is happening with editorial boards is not normal. You need to understand this first.

They are not part of the newsroom, so anyone telling you that is lying. What happened at the LAT and WaPo are the beginning. Have you not read history? They come for you. You just think it's more steps away.

I lost all faith in modern journalism when I took a college course on journalism and saw how that wasn't how shit was being done in the real world anymore. Real journalism died with the 24 hour news cycle.

You can't learn journalism from classes. We are not what that implies. Ten inches in two weeks? That's useful for precisely no one.
