No, I’m in academia, a faculty member at a university. My former dean, however, had a journalism side hustle. Hence his use of that term, which I learned from him. He was a bit of a polymath, and I learned all kinds of other things from him, such as the history of the French horn, obscure baseball trivia, and various other topics entirely unrelated to our shared field.
