Good News for Journalists
Posted on 30. Mar, 2009 by admin in For Students, New Media
As a follow up to my recent post about why corporate employers should hire a journalist, I’m encouraged to read in the news today that at least one company is seizing the opportunity to hire seasoned journalists from the print industry that we all know is in financial decay now. The article in OnlineMedia Daily by Mark Walsh says AOL is picking up ‘old media’ talent – reporters and columnists from the New York Times, Chicago Sun Times, L-A Times and others – to AOL’s online news properties like AOL News and AOL Money & Finance. Old media…new media…it is all the same at the heart of the matter for journalists – credible content! So kudos to AOL for having the insight to see the value. I am sure these additions to their staff will add depth and continue the move, already underway, to produce even better online content in news, corporate and other information being consumed at a break-neck pace each day! And we know those journalists will continue to do the jobs all of us count on them to do – their stories will just go to a different printing press! And in that vein comes the announcement of the Huffington Post Investigative Fund today, which is billed as a way to keep that all important investigative journalism role alive.
