New York Adult Entertainment: "Entertainment" embarrassing
Amen. Syndicated columnist Ellen Goodman, in her Dec. 18 commentary “Nobody says “shame on you’ anymore,” talks of former call girl Ashley Dupre getting a columnist job at the New York Post and discusses other journalists’ writing on the Tiger Woods episode. She said everything I would have said if I had the opportunity.
I am a 43-year-old student at Brookdale Community College with a grade-point average of 4.0, and I will graduate with honors and a journalism degree in May.
I will be extremely lucky to get a job in the mail room at any newspaper after I graduate. I have obviously taken the wrong path to a paying job in journalism.
I am constantly embarrassed by what our society chooses to accept as a form of “entertainment” these days.
