Three major musical buzzwords have emerged this summer among students: Moombahton, Tumblr, and Mac. The first is a genre. The second is a social network. The third is an increasingly popular performer.

– College Media Villains, 2010-2011 – Over the past academic year, a small number of school officials, outside individuals, and even an A-list celebrity negatively impacted collegemediatopia– or at least deigned to try.

Late last month, I premiered “You know you stink at digital journalism when…” It’s a fun feature that is nothing more than a list of completions to the sentence in the headline of this post. Idealistically, I saw it as a possible starting point for a future class session. But mostly, I just wanted to see what I could conjure up. Back by popular demand, here is part two.

Antiquated. Curmudgeonly. Doomed. Lauren Rabaino uses a number of words to describe student journalism circa 2011– innovative, awesome, and digitally aware are not among them. In a recent blog post/rant, the standout young journalist and designer extraordinaire waxes pessimistic about the current state of college media.

Neon Tommy is an online news outlet built atop public service more than staff pay, “stories that nobody has heard before” more than parroting headlines of the day, and possessing “a certain blue-collar sensibility” wedded blissfully with new media’s rough-and-tumble gung-ho. – The USC news site is the new flagship enterprise of the larger Annenberg [...]

Last week, Amanda Litman laid the smack down.
