Failing future journalists

You should also blame the schools that are supposedly teaching journalism. They're really teaching "journalism".

You obviously never went or your teachers didn’t care.

25-66 (and I suspect the other 2 stations in the Flint-Saginaw TV market) are making it very difficult for college students to get their foot in the door. We used to have a pretty good internship program that resulted in us giving J-school students some real experience and a demo reel. The program resulted in nearly every intern getting a job right out of college, including some that we hired for entry-level positions for hard to recruit positions like producers. But no more.

In their “infinite” wisdom, the In Over Her Head News Director and the HR Director/Party Planner haven’t had interns in nearly two years. They blame COVID. But this lack of an internship program began well before COVID. And there are other station groups that have found ways to provide a “virtual” internship experience for college students hoping to learn directly from professionals.

It’s an embarrassment that the managers in charge of this project are just too damned lazy to do their jobs.

Pretty sad that stations can’t afford free help.

They’ll take your sorry butt, though, and Dave Blondie who’s paying an agent to work there.

Fixed it, without putting the period inside the quotes, which is stupid. Those folks (the "always inside the quotes" folks) never took a logic class in their life.

You're ignorant and a faggot.

Actually, by not allowing people to intern there, those journalists actually have a future!
