When I briefly studied journalism aeons ago, we did that round table thing at the first tutorial where we introduced ourselves and said why we were studying journalism.
If anyone had said their interest in journalism was "mental health, race, gender and sexuality, disability justice and media" there would have been laughter and a lot of confused looks.
The fact that journalism graduates interested in writing about those topics are more likely to be able to make a living than someone interested in being a business, economics or science journalist is absurd, but absolutely logical for this fucking idiotic generation.
