So, you can point out good J schools, yes, and for every one of them you have five bad ones. Use reason, and sometimes you
must paint with a broad brush then pull out the winners and let
the losers founder. Is that too tough to understand, or do you
have that bur in your saddle already?
Sigma Delta Chi (Society of Professional Jornalists) and Theta Sigma Phi (Women in Communications) wanted so bad to divest
themselves of Greek Letters...angry ones...can you live with that?

Sounds like you're the one with the bur in your saddle. We're just giving a perspective as people who've been to J-school.

Ignorant newspaper reporters (who say 'frat') invariably say the negative. They do not make a decent living. Do not pledge J
school folks, or be damned selective at least. Biz majors pay their
bills, lawyers either pay or evade successfully, and reporters leave
town with judgements galore.

Not everybody who writes for a newspaper has been to journalism school, or vice versa. For all we know, the 2 people who wrote the story in the first post were pre-med or something in college.

Another good point; on my college paper, about half of us were journalism majors. The others majored in everything from English to economics to biology.

I've also noticed that a lot of the older journalists majored in other subjects, for the simple reason that there weren't a lot of journalism programs out there when they were in school.
