Roy Greenslade from the Guardian interviewed Jeremy Paxman, the BBCs incisive presenter,for the Frontline Club, who shared his experience as a journalist.In the middle of this conversation, Paxman talked about young journalists formation. Greenslade wrote about it, and related it to the exploitation of young journalists that work for free:

“He said it in the context of having first poured scorn on university journalism courses, saying – to a mix of laughter and faint boos – that “you can learn to be a journalist in three weeks.” I’m going to ignore that prejudice to deal with his point about the way in which would-be journalists must work for free, or very little, in order to obtain jobs. (…)Only the rich can afford to work for months without pay on magazines – and at newspapers, TV channels and radio stations.“

@ “Exploitation scandal: why do we allow young journalists to work for nothing?“

Afinal não é só cá… Vale a pena ver a entrevista até ao fim, pela personagem de Paxman e pelas experiências que ele partilha. E vejam como ele explora a arte de fazer as perguntas certas.

It’s not just here… The interview is worth watching until the end, for Paxman’s character and the personal experiences he shares. And see how he works the art of questioning. With the right questions.
