RachelSB: We need to quit elevated labor union agendas over school children of Minnesota, Pawlenty's line on edminn today. (paraphrase)

tomscheck: Gov. Pawlenty said during MN Chamber speech that he sometimes wishes he would have been governor during better economic times...

DeRushaJ: @BCollinsMN @dbrauer @FrederickMelo it's not just for journos, it's for techs, engineers, graphics, writers, etc. Passion counts + grades

JasonBarnett: @BCollinsMN The only subscriber models that have paid for most everything are specialzed niches. There are a few, just no general news

RachelSB: Pawlenty to speak to North Dakota GOP http://bit.ly/dnN26x #stribpol

DeRushaJ: @dbrauer we're considering that. And extending to current college students. Meeting tomorrow.

BCollinsMN: @JasonBarnett But the assertion appears to be if people value news, they still won't pay anything for it, and that's simply not true.

BCollinsMN: @JasonBarnett And I don't know of any subscriber model ('cept maybe Consumer Reports) where end-user pays full freight.

JasonBarnett: @BCollinsMN And actually, if people think their 50 cents pays for anything real, it does a disservice to the biz

BCollinsMN: @JasonBarnett Then people nod their head and say "yeah, he's right." Only he's not. The world didn't start in 1990.

BCollinsMN: @JasonBarnett Right but U can't make that point by declaring "people have never paid for news and never will." It's historically inaccurate

JasonBarnett: @BCollinsMN Sure, true enough. But rarely have people payed in a way that actaully supports a general news biz. I hope that is changing.

BCollinsMN: @JasonBarnett Didn't cover all expenses, but THAT's people paying for news. I think the assertion as stated is wrong. Ppl have paid for news

JasonBarnett: @BCollinsMN But those types of payments hardly covered anything. Tiny fraction of overall costs

BCollinsMN: @dbrauer Back in the old days at ye olde Network in NY, when there was breaking news, I could tell who worked in sm. markets.

BCollinsMN: @dbrauer I wish I'd heeded it.

BCollinsMN: Today's journo challenge: Once you report a school's been locked down b/c of an Internet threat, what's left to say?

dbrauer: @BCollinsMN Oops. I picked small media in big market. May not have been best career choice in retrospect.

dbrauer: @BCollinsMN Got that advice in the '70s too, and it was the right advice.

BCollinsMN: @dbrauer @FrederickMelo Of course I believe that any journalist who hasn't worked in a small market isn't a very good journalist.

BCollinsMN: @FrederickMelo @dbrauer Back whn I was in sch in '70s,advice was specialize in something OTHER than journalism,then go into journalism.

FrederickMelo: Not all journalists were focused students. I know Pulitzer prize winners who never finished college. @BCollinsMN @dbrauer

dbrauer: @BCollinsMN Well, you're talking to a guy who doesn't think journalists even need a college degree.

BCollinsMN: @dbrauer Nice to see a high bar for tomorrow's journalists. You don't even need to have a 3.0 GPA.
