I love the irony that everyone is commenting on the online version of a story that talks about how we should get out from behind the computer more if we want to advance our jobs in print. Is anyone really surprised, considering newspaper ad revenue is taking its biggest hit in 50 years, that mags are suffering as well? Shit changes, that's life. It's not the end of the world. Lack of expense accounts aside, I'll take the intro of this piece as advice that those of us younger than 30 should--like humans have been doing for thousands of years--learn to adapt. Why can't reporters forge new paths and make our journalism careers work with that intoxicating blend of youthful idealism, hard work and innovation. Once I figure out what that entails, look for my byline at a newsstand near you.
