Well, I am basically ignorant, I guess. I don't know when the split between PJs and Js occurred in the academic scene. I don't even know what truth is anymore. I can remember the days (I think) when the Journalist and the Photographer were complementary. They didn't use high falutin Tejano terms such as "photojournalist." OTH, I started J school, was drafted, spent 3 years writing pro-Vietnam war propaganda, went back to J school and found that truth had been redefined and worst of all, they wanted me to write and photograph for free. So much for my education. No wonder I am now a Geographer. Back to sleep, now, Louis
