journalism = selling ads

2007-09-04 21:14:24.534556+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Interesting little rant over at The Boston Diaries about selling ads for the yearbook being part of the grade, it's good to know that that tradition of journalism that people hold up there on a pedestal starts early on with selling ads as a primary motivator.

Yep, just some sighs and "I've long suspected"s from this corner.
