No better time to be a journalist?


Marshall Loeb, the former editor of Fortune, Money and the Columbia Journalism Review, has an interesting take on the cataclysmic changes occurring in journalism. He suggests there is no better time to be a journalist, despite the hand-wringing going on in the industry. Yes, technology is rapidly changing the way journalists do their jobs. But ultimately journalists now have far greater reach - thanks to the internet - than ever before. Jon Friedman, of MarketWatch, also weighs in on the monumental changes in the industry in just the past decade. Who knows what the next 10 or even 2 years will bring?
Are you excited about being part of the revolution? Do you think you can have an impact in greater ways than journalists of past generations?

Well, if we're in the middle of big changes, it does put us in on the ground floor.
