Content vs. Journalism
This is completely anecdotal.
As many of you know, I was a Journalism & CS major in college. I also have worked in news rooms, both local and global, before. I’m not going to say I had a career in news, but I can solidly say that I was “in it” enough to be able to wiggle my way into the grad classes while I was at Northeastern. J as a major is taught differently at a lot of schools. Northeastern, specifically, is a “learn the learnings, do the work” kind of school. This means that students learn the context of the industry, who’s in it, and as deep as possible to justify their future lifetimes making absolute minimum wage in a technologically and financially struggling industry.
I wrote a bit on Journalism from a venture perspective a few years ago. Not as much from a prediction standpoint, but moreso as a way to mentally segment what is tech and what is policy.
