'How the American Media is Undermining Democracy'
To be in journalism a four-year degree is no longer enough. You must have a graduate degree. In 1939 it was a blue collar job where only one in three had a degree. So they have all of this debt from grad school too and they get out and they still don't make any money, unless they get hired by the elite. They must forget their degree and read what they are told or you cannot have a job.
Sorry if you hit a paywall. That is why I wrote up the context for you.
College Education has become a huge money making scheme. People are required to pay enormous amounts of money to support brick and mortar institutions in order to purchase the degree required by many employers. The new slogan is "Pay your fee get your degree".
On-line degree programs will slowly erode the power of the big brick and mortar institutions. The high school education before the 60s was superior to much of the college educations today.
