The Times of London, navigating audience with a strict paywall, retires its opinion Tumblr | Multimedia Journalism | Scoop.it
When you bet on a strict, un-leaky paywall as The Times of London has, you’re forced to get creative about how to put your work in front of new audiences — particularly if you’re trying to influence their opinions.
Andy Bull's insight:

I think the problem here may have been the Tumblr platform itself - a bad fit for The Times I'd say

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
Journalism schools have to go where the puck is Globe and Mail Journalism schools are caught in a dilemma: Should journalism curricula reflect the media's needs as they are now or should J-schools be more experimental and in effect, become think...
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."
