21st Century Journalism

I just read this article in the USC alumni newsletter. Check out Convergence in the Classroom.

"Employers increasingly are looking for graduates with cross media skills, journalists who can write and produce stories for multiple delivery platforms. They need look no further than the nine students who in the fall semester of 2007 completed the School of Journalism and Mass Communications convergence class."

"J305, Mass Media Telecommunications, was conducted in the Ifra Newsplex. Students were exposed to the same curriculum as the professional journalists who come to Newsplex from all over the world. They blogged, recorded Podcasts, built online communities and created slide shows and videos."
