Continuing education (my summer reading list)
Saturday, June 30th, 2007Yesterday, I posted a summer reading list for j-school students who want to get up-to-date on the whole new media thing.
So, what does a new media journalist and Web developer do during his summers? He learns more. Journalists need to embrace continuing education.
Lawyers have to take classes to keep their bar licenses, teachers need to do continuing education to remain teachers and many other professions require the same mindset. So, why are journalists so unwilling to learn anything beyond college?
Well, they shouldn’t be.
