David Carr wrote another good and hopeful column today (this, I told him, was his burning bush column). I’m delighted that it ended with a brief report on his jurying in my entrepreneurial journalism course at CUNY:
Meanwhile, journalism schools are no longer content just to teach the inverted pyramid. A few weeks ago, I was at CUNY’s graduate school of journalism to help judge presentations from more than a dozen teams of young media entrepreneurs. There were some clunkers, as there always are, but there were also some scary good, real-world proposals from students who don’t have to think out of the box because they were never in one to begin with.I tried to be courteous and deferential, partly out of a small fear that I may work for one of them someday. There are worse places to end up.
“There were some clunkers”. How can anyone judge how new models will work if they have no experience what what the New Order is going to look like?
Remember that Fedex was a student business clunker too.
Vice versa for the “scary good” proposals.
