• New Media Skills: Not Just For Monkeys

  
  The Changing Newsroom — Authority: 99
  I gotta share something here that is bothering me here in the journalism Ivory Tower, and that is the tendency among some academics to view “new” media skills – anything from Web programming to social media to data crunching to Flash – as something that is wholly separate from the intellectual endeavor.

  Jason Fell: "The majority of students are convinced they’ll be in New York writing or editing for Esquire or Cosmopolitan in no time.

• A Little Dab Should Do You

  
  Bellringers — Authority: 112
  Unless you are stranded somewhere on the Alaskan tundra or lost in an Amazon rain forest, you know we are smack dab in the holiday season and buyers’ rush.

  learning.now — Authority: 686
  After writing about the skills a journalist/programmer might need , I thought it would be interesting to see what college students are learning.

  Ethical Martini — Authority: 112
  “Not only is journalistic ‘objectivity’ impossible, the attempt to achieve it is morally abhorrent.” Newspeak in the 21st Century , p.239.

  Ethical Martini — Authority: 112
  [Thanks Jess for the link] An interesting, if a little obtuse piece in The Chronicle of Higher Education this week about the fractious relationship between philosophy and journalism.
