I don't believe that print media will go away anytime soon. There's something about holding the paper in your hands, getting newsprint on your fingers that somehow leaves one with a sense of credibility, of permanence. Or, maybe I am the dinosaur!Michael K.

Love the format of a good essay.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I too don't read that much fiction. I go through phases and of the last few years, it's been all non-fiction except for the Harry Potter books and the books I read to my son.<BR/><BR/>Good luck at Sac State. I went to Chico State, so not too far from there. Got mine in History. Journalism's fascinating. I think the journalism field will change greatly. Expect papers to be less and less and the internet to almost completely take over the journalism industry. <BR/><BR/>So it's probably a good idea to think of that means of communication. You have to think in terms of writing for an online audience in journalism. Hopefully your professors aren't dinosaurs and realize this.The Zombieslayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00739873812900433755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-1137617211785888832006-01-18T12:46:00.000-08:002006-01-18T12:46:00.000-08:00Thank you.

As you no doubt know, I am on the road to completing my BA (finally) and will be entering the world of professional journalism.<BR/><BR/>Of my many and sundry careers, this one is proving to be the most rewarding, challenging and, in some respects, risky. Although I am not sure what direction my life will ultimately take, on thing is for sure: It'll be well documented!<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the kind words and I may in the future (if you don't mind) pick your brain about the ins and outs of professional writing. I have a lot to learn.<BR/><BR/>Mike<BR/><BR/>PS: It surprises me not that you are a pro!Michael K.
