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.”
