I have no idea what this comparison is supposed to mean. Where does journalism come from? The Department of Journalism?

In London, it largely comes from university students interning for free, or desperate young graduates working free internships "to gain experience".

Yeah, and the editors treat them like shit and put their own propaganda slants on their articles.

In the UK, most (admittedly not all) real journalism comes from mandatory government taxes paid to the BBC.

You're looking at the private college equivalent of journalism here, not a free public uni.

Non-paywalled articles on this:

I'm not sure that it sums up anything.

* Non-profit? free

* Profit-based company? Pay for it.

Very well said!
