J-school can help ...

At least that's what j-prof and professional Bob Stepno thinks. He's reacting to a paragraph in Peggy Noonan's pro-bloggers post in which she noted that the oft-repeated criticism -- that they aren't professionals with j-school degreees -- could be said about a lot of mainstream journalists.

As Stepno notes, getting a little schooling in the journalism arts can be a good thing these days where it's hard to just walk in the door and get hired. But, in the end, it's the passion for the business that counts.
