“No real journalists left…”

Posted by Maya @ 12:40 on November 22, 2016  

Although ‘retired’, I am still a volunteer examiner for a professional society of broadcast engineers, and proctored an exam at another station across town last week.  I had never been to this fairly new facility, so got the tour from the engineering boss.  Behold, in the news room, I came across another reporter I had worked with at several other stations over the past lifetime.  Told him I was there administering an engineering exam to certify an operator.  He quipped:  “Gee… the Society of Professional Journalists should give exams to certify journalists, also.  Trouble is… there are no ‘real journalists’ left anymore!”  I had to tell him… truthfully… that he was one of the last.
