Granted that I won’t be having inside access until I’ve earned a Bachelor’s degrees, one should still pay closer attention the buildings that we pass en-route to another location. From Benjamin Franklin to Delaware Valley syndicated television programs, from radio to internet, from town criers to podcasts – Philadelphia has had an amazing impact on the world of journalism. It’s easy to views these conglomerates as the end all be all – of journalism. However, hundreds of smaller media outlets exist. I have chosen to focus on these as being the impetus for the questioning South Jersey college student. To have all of these outlets in close proximity of us – makes the bottled potential that we all have even more valuable. In a struggling industry of newspaper, Philadelphia still hasn’t given up hope. You shouldn’t either.
