At that meeting, Bryan encouraged us, dissected our work and gave us hope. For this group of interns, he was our Barack Obama. Every subsequent speaker who addressed the bright-eyed, lily-fresh interns provided old news and no solutions. I guess they were our John McCains." Now there's an in-depth analogy. “We had met a month earlier during the weekly meeting for summer interns at the Globe, where I have my own cubicle for another month.

She doesn't grasp that people can't work for peanuts for a long period of time. She can't figure out that people have to go where they can get better pay and learn more useful skills than what tiny, clueless papers teach. "Journalism needs writers with pigmentation." A truly arrogant statement. No evidence; simply "This profession needs me." Let's hope the young journos get the remedial training they need. Fort Wayne wants unqualified people!
