Today I was at the local library for a brief moment. I decided to look up their journalism/new media books. (Now imagine that stupid buzzing noise that comes on when people get stuff wrong).

Nothing! Well there was stuff, but most of it was from the 90's and seemingly irrelevant.

I took two thoughts (and no books) away from the library today.

The first being that maybe the selection of journalism materials in our community library is a reflection of the state of journalism in my home town.

Second, why the hail would I look for to learn about new media in old media forms? Hello! I, we, should be going to the source! The best way to learn is usually first hand, thus the reasoning behind internships.

Anyway, just a friendly reminder to me, and all aspiring new journalists.

NEW not OLD.
