I could use some of that thinking, too. These skills are critical for professional development. Caroline: Newspapers need interested and Web-savvy people to keep moving forward; they can also be a ton of fun. But wherever you end up, solid journalism training will serve you well.

I struggle mightily in getting my coworkers to embrace this mentality (as I'm sure many people do). What's worked best for me is to <a href="http://paulbalcerak.com/2009/12/21/converting-print-journalists-to-new-media/" rel="nofollow">treat my company as if it were a classroom</a>: There are those who <em>want to learn</em>, those who are sort of interested and those who just don't—and won't—care no matter what I do. I focus on the first two groups and do my best to work with each person on an individual level (we've got a ton of employees and I've got other jobs so this isn't always easy). If I can find the one thing that gets through to one person, maybe it'll work on another. Maybe not, but even so, if I get through to one person every so often, that's one less I have to convert.

As an aspiring journalist, the future of journalism is, obviously something that concerns me. The newspaper industry appears to be a dying breed; technology seems to be the way forward. I just hope that traditional news values don't disappear too! A very interesting read.

I enjoy reading a paper each morning, but am always frustrated to visit the same paper's website a few hours later and find that the content is no different to the print edition.
