Today's typical journalist is an unhappily middle-aged white male who complains he's losing his freedom while declining to use that freedom to threaten those taking it away. That, at least, is the takeaway from a survey of reporters that found they are older, whiter, and better-educated than they were a decade ago—and more timid than ever before. The survey, "The American Journalist in the Digital Age," was carried out by researchers at Indiana University and is based on interviews with over 1,000 US journalists 

Were you surprised by any of the results in this survey? Do you think we can reverse any of these trends and breathe new life into journalism? Let me know in the comments!
