Some people might say young journalists are important in a newsroom because they bring life and fresh outlook to a paper. Others might say it's for their passion and work ethic. The Wall Street Journal likely thinks it's because they're allowed to join networking sites like Facebook without looking like those guys from How to Catch a Predator.

Take the two strapping young Harvard Ivy upper-echelon-university graduates who worked on today's piece regarding new changes to Facebook, for example.

How did the Journal get this breaking scoop? It sent its hippest, youngest scribes to do what they do best: hit up Facebook during work. You gotta hand it to Jamin Warren (Harvard '04, but not of the Crimson) and Vauhini Vara (Stanford '04), the reporters who wrote the piece: they know how to set their privacy preferences.

The Ivy Leak has the full record of the Facebook research from a tipsters newsfeed. Mostly, we just think this blurb is awesome because it's the Wall Street Journal. And that this is where a degree from Harvard (and/or Stanford) can get you.
