Media Convergence and the Young Journalist

The world of journalism has seen a change. In the past, journalists trained for jobs as newspaper reporters or magazine designers, television reporters or producers, or photojournalists. One person wrote the story, one person took the photo, and one person put stories on the web. Now the different forms of media are converging, journalists need to have knowledge and experience with print, broadcast, and internet media. Learning various skills with all these forms will make a young journalist more competitive.
