The Editorialiste: ‘New media reality check’ for new journalists
April 21st, 2009Posted by Judith Townend in Editors' pick, Journalism, Multimedia, Training
Andrew Nusca shares his thoughts on the new media skills needed by modern day journalists:
“As new media has increased in popularity and usage, this myth has populated of the multi-talented reporter – you know, the one carrying all the gear a few paragraphs back. And while it’s certainly an ideal, it’s not a necessity. In fact, it’s barely a reality.”
He follows this with some very useful advice for journalists entering the profession:
“For most online journalism, all you need to know is how to blog and how to use a CMS, or content management system.”
