Journalism Today Is Obviously In A Major Transition. Going To Journalism School, Learning How To Write, Working Your Way Up In A Little Paper In Decatur, Georgia And Then Moving To Atlanta And Then Maybe To New York: It's Just Over. You Have To Have A Whole Other Set Of Skills Now. You Have To Be A Videographer, You Have To Do Social Media. You Can't Do A Long, Thoughtful, Insightful Piece If You Don't Have The Time To Do Reporting, Particularly Reporting Around Somebody Who Doesn't Want To Be Known Or An Issue That Doesn't Want To Reveal Itself.
