It's made me sad to discover that some writers not only don’t write most of their words but actually refuse to write any at all, writes @MoustacheClubUS. @EminaMelonic.https://www.splicetoday.com/writing/the-millennial-media-hustle#.XP5EjVZL84I.twitter …

Glad I never went to Journalism School. Writers have always been solipsistic but the internet has amplified the cynicism, the snark, the sludge and the outsourcing.

Journalism school was always a scam, I thought. Although in my day, it was a requirement for most dailies.

total waste of time, but i guess it provided "lunch money" for lazy local adjuncts. j-school as a ticket to a local newspaper was becoming increasingly unlikely even in the late 90s, but i remember some kids doubling down and going to like "ew scripps" in ohio for grad school

Replying to @MoustacheClubUS @MUGGER1955 and
though i'm not sure many people wrote for as many university newspapers as i did, from nc state's technician (while attending classes there in high school) to unc's the daily tar heel to valparaiso university's torch, and then 4 years on the pitt news in grad school.

Writing as a daily habit is always useful. Writing on short deadlines is especially useful for reporters/reviewers/weekly columnists. But genuinely powerful nonfiction shouldn't be demanded on short deadlines. Of all the writing you did pre-Internet, what are you most proud of?
