There is one thing that is interesting: Looking over CVs of young journalists you note that this is still a profession people take up because they really want to become journalists.

The RTL Journalism School is one of the view options to get professional training, the number of applicants usually exceeds admission by a factor of 10:1.

My task was to train the class of 2010 in two groups, three days each. Very interesting, but pretty demanding too: They where incredible fast in "seing" the opportunities online publishing offers - I burned through about 120 pages of Keynote with many examples, workflow models and advice on how to get relevant stuff online.
