St. Louis Post-Dispatch sports columnist Bryan Burwell offered plenty words of inspiration, but one that made me chuckle a bit was this:
"Newspapers are never going to go away. Why?" Burwell said as he spoke to our SJI class on column writing. "Because it's easier to go to the toilet with one of these (holds a newspaper), rather than one of those (points at someone's smart phone)."
It's old news that newspapers are suffering, and many journalists heading into the print side of the industry constantly worry about job opportunities. So in a time like this, when job security, or even landing a journalism job at all, it's always good to let out a little laugh.
Besides, they say laughing boosts your immune system.
