What will they study? the art of embedded journalism,
the skills needed to gloss over issues when reporting
on politicians, the ability to turn any serious
discussion into a sound bite?

Why not do it the other way, encourage the Humphrey
Fellowship to spend its money on sending young US
journalists to the Third World, to understand how to
accomplish serious reportage under the most trying
circumstances, without fear or favour and often
without reward? Who knows what they may learn -
perhaps English.
