Steve Damish

Overall, I think that, going forward, the biggest thing any of us can do is to just keep trying new and fresh ideas to help keep the newspaper remain as unique as it has been for years. And I think as a journalist student, now is the time to try and get these things going. As for my personal commitment, its hard to say. In these classes I can try and do new things so that when I get out of school I could bring something different to the table and help keep these newspapers going. However, its hard to ascertain whether I truly believe I will be in the industry going forward. Despite Mr. Damish's comments, which I did find to be quite valid, its still hard to have that as a career mindset going forward. However, I would say what Mr. Damish has done for me is that journalism still remains an option going forward, despite everyone's best attempt to tell me otherwise. I don't know what I would like to do going forward, but to hear him talk the way he did helps me keep a firm mindset that journalism will be there if I want it to be.
