Top journalism schools, sorta

We want to add humor and surprise to our newspaper. It lightens the day's death and destruction, reflects more truly what the world is like for most people, and makes the paper more interesting to read.

Well, MediaBistro has cross-checked College Humor's party school ranking with Editor & Publisher's top journalism schools list. Let's see, I'll just cross-check the top schools with the alma maters of our staff. Auburn, noooooo. Iowa State, don't think so. LSU, been to New Orleans, but not Baton Rouge.

Ahhh, coming in at No. 4, Michigan State. Mark Sutter, a top editor, is a grad of MSU. Figures. But then the rest of the list makes us look like nuns in a "Girls Gone Wild" video.

Hey, we can make that a new hiring criterion!

Thanks for listening John.

The world needs the good...the bad is all around...but we need the good.

I know...I know...we slow down for the horrid and pass the beauty every day.

Thanks for trying.
