New media and
college students:
Tuesday, January
12, 2010
In what seems to be a growing trend, colleges and
universities are pairing with traditional
news media
to cover underserved
communities and populate
hyperlocal news sites.
The New York Times recently announced that it
will partner with The
Graduate
The UC Berkeley
with several news organizations,
including a notable
partnership with financier
Warren Hellman and public radio station KQED to
form a non-profit online news operation.
You can read about similar partnerships
The trend raises the question: are media organizations
using college journalism students
to fill the gap of
traditional reporting and better serve
local communities
or are students being used as
cheap labor?
It is worth noting that college journalism students are
often bright and talented young
journalists looking to
hone their skills in an academic
environment.
Some students, especially those in graduate programs,
often have substantial experience
in the newsroom or
have worked previously as a
full-time journalist.
The partnerships can benefit both the students who gain
practical experience and news media
that can expand
the reach of the newsroom.
But are news organizations avoiding paying full or
part-time reporters in favor of
tapping the skills of
students who only require academic
credit rather than
financial compensation?
Please share your thoughts in the comments.
