I think what some colleges are doing is a shot in the right direction, though the problem being is they should have started going in that direction the moment the internet grab wide spread hold. I know from sitting in Mr. Kates class he states that print will die out at least in the state that it is in now in the next few years. Though I think that it is prudent that student be taught new programs like Final Cut, Photoshop and others because as the print and all forms of journalism move towards the internet students will have to know these things or get left behind.
I think that if most colleges would have been on top of things, they could have pushed these new class outlines through and paved the way for a new wave of journalist(students) who are now strugling along with their professors in trying to find work in the outside world. I think its pretty scary to read that professors are looking for work just like their students
