Hannah Arendt
According to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP), Arendt was in fact a stern defender of constitutionalism and the rule of law, an advocate of fundamental human rights (among which she included not only the right to life, liberty, and freedom of expression, but also the right to action and to opinion), and a critic of all forms of political community based on traditional ties and customs, as well as those based on religious, ethnic, or racial identity.
According to the Course Guidebook for "Why Evil Exists", she studied philosophy with Martin Heidegger, with whom she had an affair, and Karl Jaspers. She became the first female professor to teach at Princeton University.

Sex
"Sex has received little attention in the history of western philosophy, and what it did receive was not good: Plato denigrated it, ... Aristotle barely mentioned it, and Christian philosophers condemned it." https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/sex-sexuality/ …
"Immanuel Kant (Lectures on Ethics) considered it the only inclination that cannot satisfy the Categorical Imperative, and Jean-Paul Sartre claimed that sexual desire aims to capture the other’s freedom."
1:27 PM - 5 Jul 2018
"Only during contemporary times do philosophers, beginning with Bertrand Russell (1929) and including Sigmund Freud (1905), think of sex as generally good." -- Raja Halwani in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

Journalism
For most of my Halley's, I've heard the University of Missouri has a good school of journalism. I think I have seen the columns featured in the Steve Canyon comic strip.
My Today's Thoughts blog on 7/22/19 was entitled "Hypothesis" and said in entirety:
'All reasonable people with my background will realize that "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions" and recognize that laws against "price gauging" are bad "in the long term"'.
Journalism is the production and distribution of reports on recent events. The word journalism applies to the occupation, as well as citizen journalists using methods of gathering information and using literary techniques. Journalistic media include print, television, radio, Internet, and, in the past, newsreels. Wikipedia
https://www.collegefactual.com/majors/communication-journalism-media/journalism/rankings/top-ranked/
Discover the Best Schools to Study Journalism
There are approximately 13,890 students graduating with a degree in Journalism every year. This helps make it 38th most in-demand from the 384 total college majors we have data on.
Journalism is ranked 87 out of 121 college majors for graduate pay. This means it is around the low end for salary potential, but you can improve your chances of a high-paying career by finding a superior school and pursuing an advanced degree.

Eager to build your portfolio from your dorm room? At Mizzou, students interested in journalism find plenty of opportunities to get involved with student publications ranging from the on-campus newspaper The Maneater, to The Global Journalist, a print and broadcasting publisher that reports on world issues. You can get on the air with KBIA-FM, the mid-Missouri’s NPR station. Plus, Mizzou’s Walter William Scholars Program offers selected students a renewable scholarship directly from the School of Journalism plus placement in a Freshman Interest Group, a faculty mentor and $1,000 for global programs. William Scholars also get automatic admission to a one-year B.J./M.A. program (assuming they complete the application and maintain a 3.25 journalism GPA) which allows students to complete a graduate degree in one year rather than two. Once junior year comes around, journalism students choose from over 30 different focuses like Data Journalism, Magazine Editing, Multimedia Producing, Sports Journalism and more. And if none of those 30 choices fit your interests, then you can meet with faculty to design a course plan perfect for you under the Individually Designed Interest Area. With professional organizations like the American Society of News Editors and Investigative Reporters and Editors, Mizzou students don’t have to do much investigating to find plenty of great ways to get involved on campus while earning hands-on experience in the journalism field. As a part of the Mizzou Mafia, you’ll soon learn why Mizzou grads love to hire other Mizzou grads.

Mark Levin, in UNFREEDOM OF THE PRESS concludes with:
It is journalism's job to be true to their readers and viewers, and true to the facts, in
a way that will stand up to history's judgment. To do anything less would be untenable.
The abandonment of objective truth and, worse, the rejection of principles and values of
America's early press and revolutionaries, is not new for the Times. It long predates the
Trump presidency. And it has led the Times and other media outlets into a very bleak and
dark place, destructive of the press as a crucial institution for a free people. If
newsrooms and journalists do not forthwith and with urgency to "fundamentally transform"
their approach to journalism, which, sadly, is highly unlikely, their credibility will
continue to erode and may well reach a point soon where it is irreparably damaged with a
large portion of the citizenry--and rightly so. The media will not only marginalize
themselves, but they will continue to be the greatest threat to freedom of the press
today--not President Trump or his administration, but the current practitioners of used to
be called journalism.
Therefore, I said at the opening, this book is intended to, among other things, "jump-start
a long overdue and hopefully productive dialogue among the American ctizenry on how best to
deal with the complicated and complex issue of the media's collapsing role as a bulwark of
liberty, the civil society, and republicanism."
I think Mark Levin had a different impression of journalism than Mark Twain having read The Comic Mark Twain Reader: The Most Humorous Selections from His Stories, Sketches, Novels, Travel Books and Lectures
by Mark Twain (Author), Charles Neider (Editor)
Hardcover – March 1, 1977
Mark Twain died in 1910. He died before the supposed “objectivity of the press” first surfaced.

Levin's publisher's review states:
It was only at the start of the Progressive Era and the twentieth century that the supposed “objectivity of the press” first surfaced, leaving us where we are today: with a partisan party-press overwhelmingly aligned with a political ideology but hypocritically engaged in a massive untruth as to its real nature.
