I found this description of an online JRNL course at Michigan State:
Information gathering and reporting in multimedia platforms for online news delivery. Online style, text, headline, video, audio and other interactive elements will be used to produce online news packages for publication.
What do you think?

Decades ago, print journalists needed skills to learn how to tell a compelling story on the radio. Then TV.
I think its a shame that there are still colleges that don't have** at least some sort of class in place that can help those who need help, to navigate these emerging technologies. And if this class helps, I'm all for it. :)
** This is understanding how "easily" a new course can be created, reviewed and be established for students.
You're right, Charles. Frequently, academia lags far behind the needs of industry. That is a disappointing fact. There are some good reasons that it takes time to add and change and tweak courses. However, that is no excuse for lagging far behind.....
