Why teaching journalism is worthwhile

Very nice story in the Memphis Commercial-Appeal about student journalists at the Unity Conference. Among the touching comments -- the kind that keep me teaching and confident in the future of journalism, if not print newspapers -- was this from Angel Jennings, a recent graduate from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln: "I'd rather have a roller-coaster marriage with journalism, filled with love and passion, than an empty relationship in law, PR or business, where there is money, but no sparks."

It's still the best job in the world.
