The days of people relying on newspapers as their primary news source seems to be coming to a bitter end. It's a sad time in journalism when respected news anchors quote twitter as a source of retrieving information. No one really cares about how often Mel Gibson screams at his wife or the cocaine Paris Hilton supposedly carries around in her purse...or do we? Maybe the media is a direct reflection of the morals and values of today's society. These are very entertaining subjects and it's kind of fun to watch pampered celebrities prove that there is more to life than fame and fortune but this shouldn't be the primary focus of main stream media. Higher education sure doesn't prepare students to do this type of reporting. Maybe colleges should offer Celebrity Gossip 101.
