New Job; New Insights

So about five months ago I started a new job as a News Producer at a small market T.V. station. And boy has it been eye opening. I'm still pulling together all my tendrils of thought on it, but one thing has been really interesting is that my old school texts are starting to have whole new meaning.  In particular, I started re-reading On Television by Pierre Bourdieu, and he is right on when it comes to T.V. journalists.  I'll write more when Ive put together a more cohesive and comprehendible thesis about my current situation.  All I can say right now is, it's madness.
