Journalism wasn’t always an academic discipline with prizes & prestige. I get the feeling there are people who wish they could put it back in the “trash writing, work-a-day propaganda milling for hacks & second class writers” box.

They even seem to be winning.

This is why I get so passionate about the need to recognize social media in the same way. To hold it to not just standards of decency but of excellence.

Because it’s *media* and for many it’s their primary exposure to media.
