NPR is my primary daily news source. So, I was totally geeked when Here and Now asked me to be on their program. And through the magic of editing, I think I managed to sound pretty alright!

Young journalists are now acting as reporters, photographers, videographers and computer programmers - all wrapped into one. Is the all-platform journalist the answer? Or will these young minds come up with a new form of journalism? Our guests are Sara Gregory, a junior at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill; Joel Stonington, a grad student at Columbia Journalism School in New York; and Brian Boyer, a computer programmer turned new media journalist who recently graduated from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University.

Today's broadcast though was the limit with the adolescent pratings of that girl from Duke and the fellow from the University of Chicago. Why the latter would be called to speak on journalism is a mystery as technicians are not journalists, and if the lady represents the future of the profession, it must be a bleak one indeed. Rather than engaging in aimless fads with her friends via trendy electronic implements, both she and they ought to make use of their time by studying Shakespeare, or if that would be too demanding, at least reading some of the good writing which has arisen right here in the United States and constituting America's literary heritage. This is astonishing that people can now obtain university degrees and still be illiterate, then go on to cushy jobs in which they are able to inflict their ignorance both on the present and on posterity. The statements of the Columbia man did convey maturity and good sense, hence one might take hope from them.

If he had not run, his supporters may have initially gravitated to Ms. Clinton instead, and she might be President today. Mr. Edwards may, in fact, have played a key role in the election of our current President.
