talk about the state of journalism and how you view it. i think you see the possibility of just doing good work and letting the chips fall. >> well, you know, it is a paradoxical moment in terms of journalism now. i think, the demand for journalism has never been greater. the amount of journalism people receive in the course of a day has never been more pimely, more extensive. >> right. >> the difficulty is the economic model has disintegrated. you know, newspapers made a tragic error, which i can't claim that i would have done differently. basically, they said when the internet came in, we will give it away for free and figure out how later to make money off of it. they gave it away for free and persuaded to everyone that internet is free. >> no putting the toothpaste back. >> only "the new york times" could get away with charges. >> they don't have the & penetration -- >> it a ggeat newspaper. it is one newspaper. it's a big country. >> yeah. >> so i am fortunate to work for two entities, cnn and the new yorker that do good journalism bu

bob rucker: "it's very rare for a journalism program to receive this amount of money. it showcases the amount of trust and support and interest that someone , on in the case of two people, jack and emma anderson had in our program. that's unique." two-point-three million dollars of the fund is available to the school of journalism....and six-point-four million dollars goes into an endowment. lane jimison is with the university's tower foundation which will manage the endowment. lane jimison: "an endowment is an account in which you put money in which you will never touch the principle of it. so it's invested, and the interest then will be for the school of journalism for ever and ever. so you will alway have money in your principle endowment account and every year you can count of a certain amount of interest every year." department chair... bob rucker... also says journalism students have much to look forward to in learning the new technology in the coming years. bob rucker: "technology is fantastic and we love it, but this was made possible through friendships. perso

your on a "washington journal." -- you are on the "washington journal."aller: i would like to say in 2010, the republican house ran on the concept of job creation. hello? host: yes. caller: in 2010, the republican house ran on the concept of job creation, and as soon as they got a majority, all they have done is try to repeal obamacare. the president is trying to appeal to congress on a jobs package to help the private sector. in a recession, government creates jobs to help the private sector to add up to make the numbers. what about the jobs, as republicans talked about in 2010 and when they won the house, and all they have done is try to kill obamacare -- think republicans need to be a thing of the past. host: we will leave it there. guest: republicans have argued that obamacare will actually put a drag on obamacare by imposing new mandates on employers. the counter argument you hear from democrats is that providing a medical safety net for people that want to leave their current jobs and invest in an independent business and increase job growth. obviou

online "wall street journal." but currently works for bloomberg. but go right ahead. >> exactly. and we have one of our mentors who's the father -- >> finish your point. i'm sorry. >> in terms of data, "the wall street journal" is already producing over 24 hours of original video production a day. we have -- they have viewers in china, in new york, and so on. so why? because the cost per mile, which is the unit of advertising, i think is extremely high for vild owe production. again, i can give you the numbers for the journal, but i know they are very high. that's a the case for a lot of other organizations. "new york times" is doing the same. so as an ipod app we know that on the user side there is a need for more portable device that can just aggregate all the best news channels that are there. this is what we do. >> got to cut all of you off because we're going to run out of time. but traditional media is awesome. i think we'll leave it there. >> traditional media bring the quality of the experience. and this i

mostly not. >> yep. >> but on the other hand, when you go to a journalism school like u.t. i spoke in may, there are plenty of kids who love old-fashioned journalism, which is really encouraging.3 >> well, it's romantic. the question is is it practical? >> well, of course. thht's the question. but -- nd nobody even has figured out practical ways to make money off, you know, web versions of newspapers really. not yet. >> but here's what my essential sensibility is that the platform is less important than two other things. one is that human beings have a need for story. that story helps sort of explain and define and it's just -- it's the essence of what we are. and so as long as there's a need for story and there are people who go out and try to aatually find the truth and do the real reporting, whatever platform those two things come in is not as important as those two things existing. and in some ways the question now is can we have enough people wanting to go out and actually do the real reporting as opposed to tweet and just blog things that they haven't reported. throug

journal have it right? >> in part, yeah. a straight line a projection forward from the 2012 election day, into the future, you get the result that the analysis in the national journal is talking about. politics rarely moves in a straight line. and, in my judgment, it will not be easy to replicate in presidential years ahead let alone in congressional elections. the coalition and a the turnout that barack obama had which carried him to victory last november. >> bill: so you believe that president obama, if the national journal reportage is true and accurate, is making a mistake thinking that that is he putting together a coalition that's going tone during for generations to come? >> well, look. it is true that they have sort of forgotten about a segment of the electorate. that portion of the white vote that you were talking about that used to be largely democratic and increasingly been less. so and the president does appear in his second term activities to be writing that segment of the electorate off. that's a mistake even t
