Allow me to point you to a blog that is becoming a must-read for me, if for no other reason than confirmation of my sanity. Mindy McAdams teaches online journalism and wrote the book Flash Journalism: How to Create Multimedia News Packages.
McAdams lays out the changing skill set required by today's new media world. Here are some quick highlights:
* Students must have a better sense of the economics and business of media.
* Media must embrace the computer science/engineering and business disciplines.
* Every student should be a serious blogger.
* New media is not a fad, but a fact.
* Entrepreneurship in media is needed desperately.
