It was great to hear from Terry Williams this week, a prominent person in the business. It always impresses me to see a journalist's timeline of jobs, especially Terry's old school journalism progression from reporter to editor to publisher.
His discussion about new revenue areas in journalism rings true with many of the ideas we've been throwing around in class all semester. It's encouraging to hear exact same topics we're developing and focusing on in class from a successful journalist. Taking on niche publications, incorporating digital and social media, and becoming a jack-of-all-trades are all relevant and necessary things to think about as soon-to-be college graduates.
Finally, hearing what qualities a newspaper publisher and COO looks for when hiring new people can only help.
