Don Lemon is SHOOK on his live....ha
<~~~~~~~~~~>
The talking head announcer for CNN claims he's a reporting journalist.
In Lemon's case,
His degree in
broadcast journalism focuses on delivering news through electronic media (TV, radio, web), emphasizing on-camera skills, audio/video production, and rapid, concise storytelling. In contrast, a general
journalism degree (often print/digital-focused) emphasizes long-form writing, deep research, and detailed investigative techniques. Both share a foundation in ethics, media law, and fact-based reporting, but diverge significantly in technical training and presentation style.
A journalism degree curriculum blends core skills like news writing, reporting, media ethics, and law with multimedia production (photo, video, digital) and specialized topics (data, investigative, sports), all built on a liberal arts foundation including critical thinking, history, and social sciences to prepare students for diverse media careers.
Reporting & Writing: News reporting fundamentals, feature writing, beat reporting.
Media Law & Ethics: Understanding legal frameworks, ethical responsibilities, and the Constitution and Media.
None of which Don Lemon is familiar with.
