I might add one more: "new" media literacy. So much work in newsrooms these days is collaborative and (sometimes painfully) converged. Sometimes students need to see how pieces come together. I've had success with this classroom assignment: Students pick individual news-based Web projects for case studies. They are required to interview at least three members of the team (can be an editor, videographer, reporter, photographer, designer, CAR expert, whatever). Students have to ask about metrics of success, software, process, collaboration, lessons learned, who did what, including arguments. I pre-approve all the case studies they propose; sometimes I give them names of recent alums (Wendell Cochran suggested that part) doing hands-on work. Case studies can be award winners, or just solid projects. Often, the smaller the newsroom, the easier it is to reach the main players. Anyway, the articles they wrote this year in particular are just terrific. From Fashion Week at the New York Times to Unequal Justice at The Dallas Morning News, the students learned a ton. Amy Great list, Mindy. I might add one more: “new” media literacy. So much work in newsrooms these days is collaborative and (sometimes painfully) converged.
