Clip from an interview with Mark Steyn

Can you give me a brief personal journalism history? Did you go to journalism college? Why the move to the States? What if anything, do you miss about England? What are you glad to leave here?

No J-School. Don't believe journalism is a profession and trying to teach it as such only worsens the quality of the writing and narrows the socio-economic pool from which journalists are drawn.

I quit education at high school and became a DJ - country, rock, classical, easy listening - and then got fired and, like a lot of other people, turned to journalism in the hope that something better would turn up. It never did. ideasfactory.com

I apologize for an earlier post in which I suggested that Wolfowitz should be fired for his comments.
