The dark side...

I hate it when communication types have to apologize for their jobs. "I'm sorry. I sold out." Whatever. Plush government or corporate job = big salary + three to four weeks of holidays a year + good benefits. When is the journalism industry going to catch up? Low pay, often lots of contract work, anti-union and long hours. I think journalism should be called the dark side because they haven't caught up to the 21st century when it comes to professional labour standards. The only reason PR is the dark side is because communication types are obstacles to getting information when their employer falls into controversy. Communication types = self-serving obstacles who have sold out freedom of information and democracy.
