Time magazine's
David Von Drehle adds to the discussion of
Chris Daly's blog post:
"My ideal journalism professor would be a person who knows the capacity of young writers and fires them up, rather than one who draws arbitrary and unfounded limits on their potential. Whether a piece of journalism works or doesn't has nothing to do with the writer's age." He notes that you could make "a pretty good anthology" out of the under-30 journalism of
David Remnick,
Michael Lewis,
Malcolm Gladwell,
Kate Boo, and many others. ||
