You're right -- I don't believe that publishers should be paying to train journalists for the Web. Understanding how journalism works online is a required skill for today's reporters and editors. And I have no tolerance left in 2008 for professionals who haven't taken the time to learn these skills.<BR/>But I feel very differently about journalism students. And I've worked very hard these past few years to ensure that journalism students are trained for the Web. I've put in a lot of hours with College Media Advisers and other groups -- on a volunteer basis -- to let teachers and students know what we in the industry need from the next crop of journalists. <BR/>If you're interested, some of my thoughts on this can be found here:<BR/>http://paulconley.blogspot.com/2007/11/next-crop-of-journalists.html<BR/>Consider yourself lucky to have a teacher like Dan Kennedy. I assure you, thousands of your peers are being taught by people who don't have a clue what journalism looks like in today's world.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278569290198583553noreply@blogger.com
