Abstract

The assumption among print journalism educators in the United States seems to be that graduates who take newspaper jobs likely will begin at a small daily, so-called community journalism, and that young journalists will move on to higher-paying jobs in larger markets as they hone their skills. Thus, a major point in the debate among journalism educators has been whether students should be prepared only for these entry-level jobs or also for future advancement in the field.
