Skills journalism grads will need
I’d like you to meet Professor Leonard Witt from Kennesaw State, who recently linked to a series of videos trying to answer the question “What skill set does a journalism grads need?”
He’s linked to a few videos there, and they are worth seeing. The obvious answers — writing good leads, crisp copy, good sense of ethics and law and so on — will forever apply. Today you’ll also need to be a varied journalist. The less intimidated you are by evolving software and emerging technology the better off you’ll be. If you can write a mean story on deadline and shoot a great picture and bring home good video you’ve become an invaluable resource.
Make sure you’re a solid editor too.
