The future of journalism education?
Do journalists need to be professionals? Do they need to go to university to learn their craft? These are questions that have been re-examined in light of Columbia University's search for both a new dean of Journalism and a rethinking of the school's role. President Lee Bollinger of Columbia set up a Task Force to look at what role Columbia should play. His Statement on the Future of Journalism Education is at http://www.columbia.edu/cu/news/03/04/lcb_j_task_force.html. Not everyone agrees with him. The Washington Post politics columnist Robert J. Samuelson takes issue with Bollinger in his piece 'Snob journalism' takes hold at Columbia' at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A18346-2003Apr22.html .
