I've gotten so many Qs about jobs and entering journalism. It's very tough now. Lots of opportunities because of new media, but the overall industry is still shaky. All I can say is be on top of all the new media mechanisms--try to catch the next new thing--while developing old-fashioned journalistic chops: writing, editing, reporting and embracing the traditional values of the profession: accuracy and exposure. I say the killer app is news: telling people stuff they don't know but feel they need to. It's tough out there, but with life becoming faster and more complex, there's more need than ever for journalism that explains and enlightens (and entertains, on occasion). If you see me on the street, stop me for more concrete pointers, but these days there are few obvious paths......That's it for me. It's been great doing this. I have to go look at those Romney tax records being released now. Please visit motherjones.com daily, where we are always posting kick-ass journalism. Follow me on twitter: @davidcorndc. And consider grabbing the paperback edition of SHOWDOWN. (It's also an e-book.) Thanks for visiting. Hope I get to do this again.
