How can reporters get multi-media?

In today's job market, while newspapers are suffering. The biggest plus to a print resume right now is online, broadcast or multimedia experience. U of C Berkeley, Knight Digital Media Center suggests the term is all emcompassing. Yet it seems difficult at times for print reproters to think within the vast and creative world of video or audio, but I don't think its as hard as people make it out to be. Carrying a video or voice recorder maybe as simple as sketching notes down on paper. It helps back up notes and adds interesting elements to an online package like no other. Learning mutimedia reporting is really the wave of the future since, online is merging all these journalistic worlds into one. There is a good chance that being the most creative in-depth reporter would be even better if multimedia aspects were used to enhance the story-telling. It might be easier than you think.
