Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

Of the people who attended journalism school with me, about half left the business years ago, and the other half are retiring/being forced out/losing their jobs to business closures or buyouts. One of the young reporters I worked with is still working at a major paper. The best depth reporter I know has been working in advertising for more than a decade; two more, plus the best remaining professor I had are management consultants.

The changes in the business in the past three decades have resulted in a criminally bad waste of talent and training, a mountainous increase in misinformation and drastic lessening of literacy in terms of both current events and the legal and cultural context for them.
