How to succeed in journalism

Two bloggers weigh in with advice for journalists who want to be successful as the industry undergoes a major transition. The first, U.K. journalist and educator Paul Bradshaw, aims his counsel specifically at journalism students. Take note - some of you will recognize pitfalls you've already encountered like waiting too long for a source to return an e-mail. And Howard Owens, digital director for a newspaper company, suggests journalists need to use their curiosity to teach themselves about the latest tools of our craft. He also suggests you check out journalist Mark Briggs' new online book on surviving in the new digital age.
So how do you stack up against the advice? Do you have what it takes to succeed?
