Reaction to Wichita Eagle

This is the third or fourth time I have made a trip to The Eagle. However, this was the first time I went there to visit the sports department. Even though I have worked for the WSU baseball team for the past four years, this was the first time I have met Kurt Seminoff. They in the Wichita Eagle sports department are very blunt about the sports writing industry, and I appreciate that.

There is a lot of doom and gloom in the newspaper industry and they made no bones about it. I appreciate that they told us we had better want to be sportswriters real bad and be willing to pay our dues. The truth is even though I don't plan on getting into the newspaper industry, this is true in television as well. This has given me a lot to think about in regards to how much I really want to get into this business.
