By studying journalism, you carry with you tools for assessing arguments, and a dogged determination to find the truth in yourself and in others.
I love this work, but it is work. Living up to the standards of this difficult, competitive field is taxing. I have a long, long way to go. —Amanda Cochran —A journalist’s lessons (Girl Meets World)
