Afternoon report: What newly unemployed Clark Kent will miss about the newsroom
Here’s what Global Post journalist Charles Sennott believes Clark Kent will miss now that he’s out of the Daily Planet newsroom:
Clark Kent
He will definitely miss the camaraderie and the characters of a print newsroom. He’ll miss the experienced hand of a great editor. He will miss the resonant thud of the rolls of paper arriving on the loading docks for the big Sunday print run…
Most of all, he’ll miss the great sense of purpose and mission that thrived at the best of the big city dailies.
He adds, though, that “there is an exciting future in the digital age and that this is a time of great opportunity and innovation in journalism.” (globalpost.com)
