My Case for a Job or Fellowship in Academia

I have not published or distributed what I believe is my best work and journalism research. I have a great deal of original material that would be very well-suited for a Master's thesis or for course materials directly related to any "Interactive Multimedia & Entrepreneurship" faculty positions. Let me stress that this is original research and philosophy that has yet to be published anywhere else on the web by anybody else, ever.

The reason I have not published or distributed what I feel is my best work is because I have been plagiarized numerous times without citation, often times from people in academia. I have become somewhat disheartened by a seemingly thankless industry that has also made me somewhat cynical. I am also not in a position to afford being able to publish my best material for free.

As a "futurist" I have demonstrated a strong tendency to write original theories, philosophy, and predictions years in advance of them coming true or being legitimized through hindsight. I understand this frightens and intimidates many people, but I feel I have demonstrated my abilities to the point that the professional journalism industry needs to provide me with a legitimate forum to conduct funded research as well as publish my findings. I believe I have more than demonstrated my abilities to potentially help rebuild and restructure the journalism industry successfully given the chance, and that any continued dismissal of my work would represent a great disservice to the journalism industry - perhaps even a disservice to America.

If that requires deleting certain things I have written online in the past then I am more than willing to do so in exchange for a fellowship or a well-paying instruction position. I understand that some of my writing might be considered rather coarse to some, but when you are forced to the margins by those high up then it tends to have certain effects on your psychology. In any case, much of my seemingly anti journalism-establishment rhetoric has indeed been thoroughly legitimized in hindsight.
