“The new approach isn’t a whole-sale shake-up of the specialization system at the core of most
journalism—and, more generally, most professional—programs; rather, it’s a shift that, per
Jarvis’s telling, will give students more control over their own professional training.”

“Our faculty have tentatively approved curriculum changes that will dramatically refocus
student-produced class content and vertically integrate it on the college’s NewsNetNebraska
Web site.” http://barneymccoy.wordpress.com/2009/01/14/university-of-nebraska-lincoln-j-school-

Skills and knowledge EVERY journalism student needs:

“Here’s one thing I personally would like to see happen. I think schools should be decimating
the individual media sequence in favor of a “journalism” major. It doesn’t make sense to have a
“newspaper/magazine” and a “Internet journalism” sequence anymore; you should be able to
have an emphasis in an area that interests you, but ALL of our students need to learn at least
basic skills in all media.” http://changingnewsroom.wordpress.com/2008/12/08/changing-
journalism-education/

“If we’re ever going to figure out how journalism can survive in this ocean of information, we first
need to know how to stay afloat. Leaders who get their feet wet are in a better position to
imagine the future and prepare young journalists for what might come next. There’s nothing
charming or inspiring about a boss who’s a Luddite. It’s time to take the plunge.”
