PBS MediaShift | 5Across August, 2010 | Beyond J-School | PBS

The latest 5Across video show from PBS MediaShift is called "Beyond J-School" and is part of an in-depth series at MediaShift on how journalism education and training are changing in the digital age. Students now must learn more than the basics, and have to understand how to do multimedia, collaborate with the audience, manage communities and be entrepreneurs. The show includes author and educator Howard Rheingold, multimedia trainer Lanita Pace-Hinton, author and J-school dropout Lea Aschkenas, SF State journalism professor Jon Funabiki, and SF State journalism student Kelly Goff.
