Preparing Your Students for the New Era of Journalism: Backpack Journalism and Documentary Film Making
Is your school keeping up with technology trends? Will your broadcast/journalism and communication students graduate with the technical and creative skills they need to succeed in this fast evolving market?
The convergence of emerging technologies, and the increasing financial pressures faced by all media outlets, requires graduating journalists to have a wider skill set to be marketable. As a result, journalists are not only reporting the news, but writing, shooting, producing, and editing their own work.
Join us for an educational webcast to examine new trends in journalism. Explore the critical technical and creative skills emerging journalists will need as they enter the job market. Hear what experts from the field are looking for in new hires, and what technologies are currently being used. You will also learn how Sony Broadcast and Professional products can help your student prepare for these changes.
