Professor and Chair of Journalism and Sports Media at Montclair State University. I am a journalism historian, studying press criticism, and literary & alternative journalism.
Ooh, and I forgot the printing plant out in College Point! Harder to get to without a car though. Maybe the school should be chartering a bus for this. 🤓

Not only am I a journalism historian but I used to work for an architecture magazine. I'm well-qualified to be a nerd on this topic, and I am, indeed, very proud!

I agree with your understanding of it, but also that there is a kind of independent journalism that we don't have a good word for yet. My department has begun bumping into that problem in curriculum development. We don't have an answer yet though!

If you do, just remember that you’ll have to hear their thoughts on this. Be prepared.
