Brutal but honest take on media survival. The whole "work quietly" section is kinda depressing but rings true. I've seen coworkers get the axe for being too vocal about managment screwups even though they were totally right. Guess idealism doesn't pay the bills when budget cuts come around.
So sorry, Harry. Cracker of an article though. Who knew we would graduate full of ideals to be reduced to just clinging on to a crumbling industry 15 years later.
I'm not even remotely close to this industry, but I think this kind of advice holds true in more scenarios than journalism (unfortunately).
In any case, good luck out there. Here's hoping this is a blessing and an opportunity, rather than a setback.
