We need smart and inspired people to enter journalism. Yet the industry treats newcomers poorly.
They are exploited for tuition and free labour, they are discouraged and mocked.
I experienced this when starting out. Many doors were closed to me.

The reason why some people are so so upset about Don Cherry is not so much because they love his commentary or him or even that they agree w him so very much.
It's because they fear that this signals the end of something for them, that they're now on shakier ground.
They are.
