Journalism schools: stop preparing students for the past - Globe and Mail

Journalism schools: stop preparing students for the past - Globe and Mail | Multimedia Journalism | Scoop.it

Andy Bull's insight:

This from the post: "Journalism schools and organizations need to stop being complicit in preparing students for the past. The courses still taught most often teach skills that worked well 10 to 20 years ago. But media organizations haven’t been clear either about what they want or need from J-schools.

Innovation in our journalism schools remains the needed and missing link that will blend new and old skills along with an appreciation of the business challenges that threaten the survival of journalism as we have known it."
