On the optimism of new journalism grads

You might think that these would be hard times for recent journalism graduates, with the industry's constant churn, but Al Tompkins finds contrary evidence in interviews with graduating seniors: "Every student said they are well-aware that they won't make much money, at least for a while, and they are prepared to adjust their lives to that reality if they can be a journalist. Several said they grew up modestly, so not having much money would be no big adjustment."
