What is the hiring market for young journalists these days like? If one is unexceptional or inexperienced do they have a chance of improving or is it too late in the game by the time they’re contending for a job?

Do you think print journalism still has a chance? If so, why? Do you think that the internet creates an environment that promotes journalistic mediocrity?
