Are most journalists intellectually curious enough?
If they were they wouldn’t be asking for someone to give them training in new skills. Rather they would have already discovered new — in demand — skills, and they wouldn’t be afraid to seek out help to learn new skills on their own.
And isn’t an intellectually curious person willing to learn new things just for the sake of learning or out of sheer curiosity, instead of just want to learn new skills to save his job?
