A Classicist Writes the News?

I received in the mail today the 29 July issue of The Weekly Standard, my favorite weekly magazine. In the Scrapbook section was a short article called J-School Follies, in which the director of the Annenberg School of Journalism at USC is quoted, “But I think I would have trouble going into any newsroom today with a degree in classics.”—yi! This is why I love reading TWS; I hope you will judge for yourself.
