It is good to hear that the students are recognizing the need to adapt, and I hope that your staff is successful with it!

]]> Comment on Student Journalists reluctant to change; New Media is on the backburner by jlinabary http://newview2.wordpress.com/2008/11/05/acpcma_convention/#comment-168 jlinabary Tue, 11 Nov 2008 19:33:44 +0000 http://newview2.wordpress.com/?p=73#comment-168 "A journalism student who is not being taught how to write, edit video and create multimedia stories is like an orthopedic surgeon going to school and never learning how to operate on a knee." This line made my week. The unfortunate thing is that this happens more often than not. I see the problem happening at my university. This is in large part due to the fact that with a small journalism department and professors who have been out of the field for a while, they just don't have the training or the technology. They are working on getting better, but that will probably happen more after I'm gone. I think a majority of the journalism students here who also work for the campus newspaper recognize the need to adapt and learn new media skills. We're just looking for opportunities to do so on our own or through developing independent studies together. “A journalism student who is not being taught how to write, edit video and create multimedia stories is like an orthopedic surgeon going to school and never learning how to operate on a knee.” This line made my week.

Creating cars is not like building your own burrito, it takes technical expertise. The sum of enthusiast preferences is in now way guaranteed to create a better, or even functional design. Frankly, the Panterra is a great example of this. The visibility looks so low i'd be amazed if it were street-legal a year after release. I think this production concept needs to be rethought.

It's interesting to see that the two ratios are so close. I'll have to do some more research on it. Good luck to you trying to figure it out! Thanks Erin.

So first did a search (of course!) to see what other sources I find on the matter. And here you are! Wondering the same thing. Earlier today I decided to calculate my ratio, and it is almost a match to yours! 64.37:1 Fascinating! I'll be posting today and linking to you. Hope it bumps your ratio to 64:5:1. :) I was pondering my view to comment ratio, decided to do a post on it. So first did a search (of course!) to see what other sources I find on the matter.
