>This is very common, in many industries. Maybe moreso, with journalism (I am not very familiar with that industry).
I am somewhat familiar being on the board of a student newspaper. And it's extremely true in journalism. The students who went on to being journalists (or editors etc.) all did it through connections. You probably don't get a job on something like the editorial page of the WSJ by sending your resume around.
