Not many journalists of his day had a college degree. Shirer had a liberal arts degree. Mentioning the exceptional doesn't shed any light on the everyday and common place. The average newspaper, TV station, or local media outlet, these being the bulk of what's out there, attract average journalists with very low capabilities. A basic degree in journalism using Ap style guidelines is all that's required, if even that. Even the Annenberg School of Communications, yeah the very one founded by one of Richard Nixon's boyfriends, himself no great friend of the press, serves the need for cross disciplinary education for journalist. It's certainly a good example of a response to the perceived failings of the average journalist. s.d.

Poor William Shirer must have been a schizophrenic mess. I guess the lesson is that all historians should be given Leicasalong with their PhD diplomas. Buzz>It is, Lt.
