How to build a better journalism school

Two parts (part one, part two) of short clips from various commentators on how journalism school could be improved. Some speak to how hard the job is ("teach self care"), some speak to how hard it is to get a job ("show the business side of freelancing"), some talk about teaching essential (and transferable) skills, some speak about the changing community ('teach diversity, equity and inclusion"), and some speak to getting the work done ("teach investigative skills"). Note: I read and wrote this post while listening to Joe Biden and Trevor Noah talking about the key role of the profession. It's worth noting that I, too, could criticize the Prime Minister of Canada, and have that voice be not only permitted, but heard, and respected.
