Back Pack Journalists

I would tend to agree more with the views in “Backpack Journalism Is Here To Stay.” Journalists with the ability to function in a variety of mediums will be in high demand in the very near future. This is not to say that they will always be using their entire skill set. The best journalism will be produced when a team collaborates and each member contributes his or her special abilities. In certain situations, though, being able to do a little bit of everything could go a long way towards helping a news organization get the coverage it desires. Ultimately, we face a situation where the public wants all of its information from one source: the internet. Journalists, no matter how many years of experience they have, will have to keep up because news that is unread or unwatched is worthless. I say out with the old to make room for the new.
