Why are there still journalism students?

You might think that the media's declining fortunes would be driving away recruits. But journalism professor Héctor Tobar writes that his students remain committed to their craft: "Young journalists operate on a strange mix of adrenaline and idealism. They savor the rush that comes with making a deadline, or conquering the stage fright of a live broadcast. And they believe that if they master those skills, they’ll contribute something important to their communities."
