Many of those skills are still on the table and more relevant than ever, but a greater emphasis on new distribution platforms, like mobile and the iPad, and the increasing prominence of social media storytelling within media companies require new skills from today's journalist.
Mashable’s fifth NextUp NYC will focus on the skills that news organizations will demand and the tools journalists will need to be successful as they redefine the way they report, produce and distribute their content. The night will consist of networking and a conversation led by Vadim Lavrusik, community manager and social media strategist at Mashable, with:
Jay Rosen, journalism professor at New York University and blogger at PressThink.org
Jenna Wortham, technology reporter for The New York Times
Drake Martinet, associate editor for D: All Things Digital/The Wall Street Journal Digital
Laurie Segall, money and technology reporter for CNN
There will be an audience Q&A following the discussion.
