The News

I got solicited by a group of NYU journalism students, who couldn't have been any cuter, any more earnest or enthusiastic about what they were doing, which was a random survey that consisted of two questions:

How do you personally define a group as a minority?

and

What’s your major source for news? 

"You can take your time to think about it."

I didn't need to.

A minority group is one that within in a larger group has fewer numbers; my major news source is local public radio stations and the UK Guardian online.

"Interesting!  Everyone else answered the first question with the name of some ethnic group.  Nobody's said the radio or a foreign newspaper.  The radio?Radio??????"

I assured them that I was Old School.  And that radio still existed.
