Link: New Media Meets Campus Media

Inside Higher Ed asked a good question yesterday: what skills should college journalists develop to have a successful career later on?

"...even the smallest commercial newspapers, with 10,000 readers or fewer, are looking for reporting candidates with experience writing for the Web and uploading stories to the Internet, according to a survey of newspaper managing editors conducted by Wendelken and Toni B. Mehling of James Madison University."

A knowledge of AP style won't get you by anymore. Any good journalist needs to be able to set up a basic website, shoot stills and video or craft multimedia presentations. Maybe all of the above. Are you getting that kind of training at your school?
