New Media Meets Campus Media

Posted by Ralph Braseth (Bryan’s on the road)

ICM’s Bryan Murley sat on a panel at AEJMC in Washington D.C. to discuss the many changes facing journalism and journalism education.

“We don’t face the same problems economically that the industry is facing,” said Eastern Illinois University’s Bryan Murley, who found in a survey of college newspaper advisers that 58.7 percent in 2006, and 53 percent in 2007, thought campus media had not kept pace with the advances in commercial media. “But the industry is requiring reporters to have different skill sets.”

A reporter from Inside Higher Education covered the panel. Read the story here. Interesting reader comments at the bottom.
