For the last year I've been at Stanford University as a student and I've had time to read the newspaper.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Stanford had no journalism program so I just learned by doing, effectively.
I'm a Stanford kid through and through.
I tried to steer the student newspaper toward more pertinent information instead of the usual gossip and bull.
Actually, I graduated from university as a journalist.
Stanford did a lot for me, and I've always felt indebted. It was a lenient and productive environment.
I don't really read a lot of newspapers. I don't pay attention to what is being said or written about me. I've had lots of experiences in the past when I got too much into it. That sort of diverts your focus.
I did not read newspapers until I became a reporter.
I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it.
Journalism students need to understand it and need a solid background in the liberal arts, in sociology, economics, literature and language, because they won't get it later on.
My freshman year at Harrison High School, I saw a journalism class where students were putting out a weekly newspaper. It touched a responsive chord in me.
