This Friday, our Journalism 24/7 class will be visited by a fellow classmate of our professor and distinguished journalist. He has some pretty interesting views that reflect what is going on in the journalism world and the current state of the media.
One of his blog posts is called “Church and State.” This article touches upon the separation and the creation of a new church in England during King Henry VIII’s reign. He compares Journalism to separating Church and State which is separating journalism the craft from the business side.
He reverberates that all journalism students must remember that it is a business no matter what and to survive must stay a business in order to be successful.
Questions for Michael Rosenblum:
1. Why do you think journalists are afraid that the older business model is going to fail in the 21st century?
2. Have you contemplated your career and if it was the right choice for you?
3. What do you believe is the proper business model for our generation of journalists?
