Whoops, The Media, it looks like all your jobs have been outsourced to the Internet. While Notre Dame faculty held a conference for aspiring journalists to feed them lies like "If you can write well and gather news, you will always have a job," the current situation in the press rooms speak otherwise. Jobs are being cut (god forbid you are a movie critic these days), whole papers are folding (god forbid you are The Sun these days), and the industry in general is desperately lashing out at whatever available resource they can get their hands on to keep afloat. Unfortunately, that means grabbing up journalism students once they graduate and putting them in unpaid or minimally paid internships that go nowhere.

Unfortunately for the papes, there are some paying jobs for students out there, in the burgeoning and exciting field of blog writing!

While not all blogs pay, the ones that do tend to offer a better deal than you can find working for peanuts over at The Village Voice. So the editors and publishers pull in the last cred they have over Internet writers:

"The panelists noted the importance of distinguishing true and objective news from online blogs and the un-checked flow of information on the Internet."

Oh, objectivity, that's right. That's what places like The New York Times has over the biased views and the veritable dearth of information online. Except not.
