Incoming journalists reflect on becoming reporters in the digital age
A group of young journalists finishing their studies at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism today (May 9) launch FastForwardNews.org, a collection of videos exploring the hurdles and possibilities for reporters in the digital age. In the videos, the 18 aspiring newsmakers examine subjects including the use of “crowdfunding” stories, computer-assisted reporting, content farms, the New York Times’ new paywall, and the response to Al Jazeera English by American cable companies.
