The FJP: Why I'm Paying for J-School →
futurejournalismproject:
This morning, I read Michael Wolff’s piece in USA Today entitled Columbia Flunks Relevancy Test. He’s not a fan of the school for reasons I can actually understand (thought they might have been more convincing if he’d kept the sweeping generalizations to a minimum).

THR Interview with Tina and Amy
THR: Has anyone given you a good piece of advice?
Fey: No. We should get some.
Poehler: I was doing some talk shows, and I asked both Jimmy and Conan O’Brien. Everyone says, “Make sure you’re enjoying doing it and make sure you have fun and keep it loose.” I think Tina and I aren’t worried about that. We just want to make sure we look amazing. We don’t care what we say. I have to get my head peel done before Jan. 13.
Fey: I want to look like a really young candle.

The death toll places the mass shooting as the second worst in U.S. history.
– Josh Voorhees at Slate and nearly every other outlet reporting on the #SandyHook tragedy.
This kind of thing stops me every time I see it. The reporting after the Aurora shooting included the same language, and now we have Sandy Hook, which is, according to the media, worse than the Aurora...
