Doubt it. Where I am from if you had top grades in school it was a question of "journalist or doctor?" You just couldn't get in without it.. now journalist programs at universities takes pretty much everyone with a pulse. And in some smaller univs the pulse part is optional.

Journalists today are told by their boss what to write, their boss is told by their boss which is told by the owner. And the owner has an agenda, and guess what. It is not to make themselves less rich.
