A recent University of Georgia study shows that only six in 10 graduates from journalism schools during the 2007-08 year had full-time jobs within eight months. But those programs granted more degrees than ever, about 55,000. What's going on here? Apparent answer: Confidence that social media (i.e., Facebook) will play a role in next-generation journalism.
