Educating journalists

Journalist.org is asking how do you bring a not-so-Web-savvy newsroom up to speed?

Well, I know how UM plans to help: By educating students with a vast array of multimedia skills through a new master's program.

Professor Rich Beckman told his class last week that the program should be up and running by the fall. It'll be three semesters and a required summer abroad.

This is the type of program meant to turn out NYTimes/WashingtonPost quality work.
