Recession, from page 2 humanities divison, painted a bleak picture of employment opportunities in newspapers. He said that newspaper advertising has declined and many papers are going out of business. The result is "veteran reporters in competition with new graduates," he said. "Some industry experts have expressed fears that we are losing a whole generation of journalists," he said. "They won't find jobs now and there are concerns they will leave the business." Opportunities in radio seem stronger, he said. Martz urged students not to lose hope, "Just because a recruiter doesn't visit a campus, doesn't mean there arc no jobs. If you have an interest in a particular area, make direct contact." Martz said, the recession is a lime for students to take a serious look at their career plans. One strategy is to choose graduate school if they can't find employment." —Lee Ashton, Sharon Barris and Angie West contributed to this story. 843-0911 742 S. George St. York
