Need to interview a journalist

I have a career study project for my class and I need to interview at least one active and one aspiring journalist. If you'd like to lend me some of your time, I'll only be about 15 minutes. Thank You.

@YankeeFan is your guy.

 

Don't do it, kid. Pick another career. Be a helicopter pilot or something, something with a future.

 

Pick out one of the board vigilantes. I'm sure they have exciting tales about how they cracked down on someone who wore the wrong Halloween costume. Meanwhile, their town's water went bad, and a bunch of money disappeared from the city accounts. But that's what metros are for.

 

Could you possibly direct me to one of these people. I've only made this account an hour or so ago haha

 

I will send you a PM with some suggestions.

 

Thanks for the assistance.

 

He's messing with you. Take any suggestions with a massive grain of salt.

Unfortunately, most of the people on this board are ex-sports journalists, myself included. We just stick around because no other message boards will welcome our uncompromising asshole-ishness and precise grammar.

Regardless, good luck with your project. Hope you hear from some of the remaining active journalists around here.

 

I face this all the time, as our high schools require a senior project that includes job shadowing. So we often have kids hang around the newsroom and asking us questions about the business.

Don't sugarcoat it ... when an industry has lost half of its work force in the past 10 years, that says it all.

 

Devin, thanks for the PM.

@CD Boogie was goofing on you. I'm not a journalist. I fix espresso machines for a living.

 

9 posts and no one told him to fetch beer yet?
Y'all be slipping.
Case of something cold, stat newbie.

 

I gave him some great suggestions. You just reminded me of another one I should have given him.
