Over the years, technology has slowly crept into many of the courses I teach. Just a few years ago, a Journalism 120 educator could sleep soundly if he/she covered the basics of newspaper writing, the development of interview questions, some basics on layout/design and photography and throw in a few discussions on ethics and responsibilities for good measure. But that has all changed, and it has changed in an incredibly small amount of time. Today most journalists are expected to not only write copy and take a few photos, but they are required to produce video and create audio for a society that is consuming more and more of their news in a digital format. The required toolkit is a whole lot bigger, and it is still changing.
