In response to a proposal by one of my colleagues about what we in D:F/M call the journalism concentration, his proposal smacks of embarrassing antediluvianism -I’ve been psyching myself to write this monster memo about the discombobulation in D:F/M’s journalism effort AKA journalism concentration. Lo’ and behold, the Times publishes this story under the headline: “J Schools Play Catchup.” My first quickie response for j-programs, j-departments and j-concentrations as well as j- schools? The smart ones catch up.
But now, I believe a more pungent response is needed: “Down With Antediluvian Journalism Instruction.”
