The lecturer: yes, there are jobs out there for journalists | Crikey

Another reason why high school students need access to social media in Australia as illustrated this article by:    

Jenna Price

But what breaks my heart is the way in which young students, about to graduate, ask me if they will ever get work as journalists. My always truthful answer is — it depends.


Are you doing the best kind of journalism you can do? Can you break the odd story? Can you deliver it across all media? Can you curate Twitter feeds? Can you do a decent photo gallery? Do you know how to use Twitter and Facebook for research and promotion of your own work? Do you know how to bill? Alan and Arianna will not be the only ones to make their money from online.

Another person who needs saving from extradition

Richard O'Dwyer is a 24 year old British student at Sheffield Hallam University in the UK. He is facing extradition to the USA and up to ten years in prison, for creating a website – TVShack.net – which linked (similar to a search-engine) to places to watch TV and movies online.

Tree-roots Van Gogh

Just love this Van Gogh one of his lesser known works.

Tree-roots 
(July 1890 - 1890)

Vincent van Gogh

http://g.co/artproject/cay2

At first sight, this painting appears as a jumble of bright colors and wild abstract shapes. Powerful strokes and thickly applied paint mark the canvas. The subject only becomes apparent when you look more closely: tree roots, plants, leaves, with the brown and yellow of a sandy woodland floor under them. Van Gogh painted other scenes of trees and woods. He often cut off his compositions in an unusual fashion, often painting trees without their tops, or a piece of woodland showing only undergrowth and flowers – or, as here, only the roots of the trees.
