Troubling times coming for those of us in higher education---

As fewer people pursue two-and-four-year degrees due to high prices and declining birth rates, a growing swell of students are turning to shorter-term certificate programs to gain skills in less time and for less money.

The settlement includes the paper's demise! That's not something you read about every day. Yikes.

Under the terms of the settlement, the Everett Leader Herald will shut down after 139 years.

A tough but important and interesting read. As a newsroom manager, I fought as hard as I could to get the most for my reporters (in Bangor) and other employees (in Hartford). Salaries, supplies, or safety equipment, we have to do more to keep young and mid-career journalists in the field/biz/industry serving our communities.

If the industry doesn’t provide for younger journalists, will they stay?

worth a read (certainly to my colleagues on campuses)---

The college will not accept students in English or history, weeks after graduate students ended their seven-month strike.

When I think about teaching again, I think about the abilities, expectations, and goals of my future students. And I read this NYTimes article this morning (10/26/24) by a SMU professor (that I know is behind a paywall) and worry. Or, do I wonder? :) For sure, I remember telling my Suffolk University Seminar for Freshman students that I was going to treat them like scholars and ask them to read, think, and write. It was a grand academic experience!

It's a long ladder, but even the rookies and newbies and college students studying broadcast journalism need to read the writing on the wall. File under: lessons to learn---

Economic realities are forcing TV news organizations to make tough choices with news stars — leading some anchors to exit and others to take pay cuts.

Worth a read--- (AND, Goldberg wrote a wonderful book related to the issue: "Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News" (2001) that I highly recommend.)

I’ve been around journalism a long time — 28 years at CBS News alone — and Tony Dokoupil’s questions struck me as perfectly legitimate.
