Journalism schools entrance exams, here I come !

Wish me good luck. I'm leaving
tomorrow and will be going through one hell of a week, likely
for nothing, but it's worth a try. If I can escape becoming
a civil servant or politician by turning into a journalist,
it's worth it anyway.

See you guys on saturday !

What kinds of tests are these... and how come it takes a week?

(Asked by someone who doesn't know anything about becoming a journalist in
general, and even less about the way things work in North America)

Ooh, and good luck!!

Where I grew up we had The Gazette (morning paper ) and The Daily Mail
(afternoon paper). Now where I live, we get the Herald-Dispatch ,a.k.a
The Herald-Disgrace. All are owned by Gannett.The photo and general
print quality is far superior in the other papers, you can read even
small pica size print and the registration is always spot-on, not like
the Disgrace, where many people end up with four eyes with
registration off by four mm, and regular type is smeary.

Gannett is, joy of joys, the parent company of my newspaper's
publisher. Their presses -- like most others, really, vary in
quality considerably.

Even more variables might be brought into the equation by how
important the printers think your run is. If you're the press owner
or a big external account, your print-quality is likely to be checked
more frequently during the run than otherwise. <

Ours isn't perfect by any means, but it remains better than what the
Americans rather amusingly call democracy, thanks.

Yeah, if we really want a democracy, we'll have to outlaw Republicans.

Hey, that's personal! GOP used to be a good party until Bush ruined it and
now the reputation has been tarnished forever.

It was members of that self-same party who voted for him in the
primaries. They must now bear the judgement of history. >

No, my pun was to have a Democracy, you need only Democrats, otherwise
you get a Republic, like China.

Unfortunately that's going to be true. I seriously doubt any GOP candidate
could win any presidency for the coming decade without having some riots.
They shouldn't really let all those fundamental Christians in the party.
Seperation of Church and State!
