Remember the late-'70s TV show "Lou Grant"? Don Terry does, and he wrote a
wonderful piece for the Columbia Journalism Review, about watching episodes of the show on his iPod after being laid off by the Chicago Tribune.
... Right now I need a little help in getting past the anger, fear, and sense of loss that keep me up at night. It was watching Lou and the gang at the fictional Los Angeles Tribune that originally helped to convince me that a life in journalism was what I wanted—that it was fun and honorable and important. I’m surprised and happy after every episode at how good it feels to be back in a newsroom, even if it is only make-believe.
