The Harvard Crimson has produced 12 Pulitzer Prize winners, and in the 1960s and 1970s, more than half of its board members found jobs at newspapers upon graduation, Bloomberg reports. However, in the last 10 years, Crimson graduating seniors have been seeking more options outside journalism.

Of the last 10 managing editors of the Crimson, only two are working at newspapers: one at The New York Times and one at The Washington Post. Newsroom employment fell 11 percent last year, Bloomberg reports. Newspaper recruiters who went to the Crimson’s job fair encouraged students to look at fields outside journalism, a student told Bloomberg. After the event, students’ work samples that were given to the recruiters were found in the trash.

Not all students are as discouraged as Crimson staffers, though. At the University of Colorado at Boulder, applications to the journalism school are up, despite the shaky industry conditions, according to its student newspaper, The Daily Camera. Students told The Camera that they are determined to learn the evolving multimedia curriculum offered in the journalism school.

Students at Columbia are also committed to sticking with journalism. Students recently published their annual class project New York Review of Magazines. Let's face it, we're a bunch of overachieving journalism students who willfully chose a future in magazines. We're hurtling toward our own doom, and paying for the privilege,” the students wrote in their introduction to the magazine.
