Ryan's Writings…at Mason

Mark Briggs, the author of “Journalism 2.0,” makes a a good point in the introduction of his new journalism guide for the journalism student, “Journalism Next.”

College-aged students are the ones with a say of how journalism will be in the future. We are the ones whose ideas are considered valuable in the new job market because we are actually just as, if not more, familiar with the direction journalism is going.

We are the generation who grew up with the digital age, and “we get the chance,”  Briggs says, “ to be part of something bigger and better that it’s ever  been before.”
