journalism hasn't changed
June 15, 2009
Journalism hasn't changed. Journalists with integrity, strong communications skills and compelling perspectives will be successful, no matter the platform.
The platform has changed. The styles have changed. The formats have changed.
But just because you can tweet and blog doesn't make you a journalist. It makes you someone who can enter information into a form or box.
Tweeting, blogging, Facebook, Ustream, iReport... these are tools and platforms for communications. Journalism isn't a tool, it's a skill. And that's all I have to say about that.
