Poynter Makes Me Cry

Poynter Online reports news about the news. Some blogs expand on popular issues in a more informative, detailed, and opinionated manner. Others, like Poynter, post a downpour of short news items that give the reader an immediate impression of the current state of affairs. This blog is aimed at journalism aspirees like me, but I don't want to read it-- not because it's bad, but because every post is a slap in the face and a reminder that my parents will be paying my rent until I'm 35. Look, Poynter, I know journalism is dying; j-school kids have been hearing about it for months now. Tell me something good! I did enjoy this brief post about changing ethical standards. Please excuse me; I need to go curl up with a box of Kleenex and listen to NPR.
