Editors of all kinds of publications - news, entertainment, sports - are looking for job candidates with both traditional journalism skills and multimedia skills. Bottomline: You need to know how to tell stories over many different platforms to get a job. John Robinson, editor of the News and Observer, made that point about blogging in a column. Brian Fisher, editor of Noise magazine in Lansing, spoke to my copy editing class earlier in the week. When asked what he would tell students looking for copy editing jobs, he echoed Robinson's sentiments. Check out his advice. Are you preparing yourself for today's reality? Are you looking for ways to expand your skills?

Good advice on the video. It seems to me as I look around that you can't be too prepared to get a job. The more things you can do, the more likely you will fill a need.
