Do you read the newspaper? I do occasionally, but just don't think about it with the computer and all

Newspapers are important instutions.  I believe we have to support them if we want any sort of investigative journalism.

that makes sense, there would be no need for journalism without newspapers, I am sure they have been around for decades

YEah some even so trusted enough to become the "Newspapers of Record" which means their journalism is trusted enough to be consensus fact.

Wow, that is interesting, do investigative journalists earn a lot every year?
1_Wizard
They can make about $45,000 a year, definitely more that the aforementioned "Newspapers of Record" like The New York Times and Boston Globe and such.

That is not bad pay at all, do they require any special training or schooling?
1_Wizard
Oh yeah you gotta go to one of the premier journalism schools, to learn how to cover things like politics and business, even weather.

Oh well that does make sense, the weather guy.. what is the terminology for them again? I forgot they go to school to do that, it would be hard to learn all the words and phrases they use

Weather reporters are called Meterologists.  And despite their constant criticism for "getting things wrong" they are prized members of any journalism outfit.
