And of course it's an MA in Social Media, not social networking...

Still says "students" though - the reports only mention one.

Re: Press Gazette - Trust in journalists plummets - but estate agents come last in new survey

I agree. As an aside, it's interesting to watch how few professional bloggers are now keeping up to date coverage of Yahoo's boardroom battle / buyout story. Where business journalists have a duty to report each day's developments, many bloggers are now posting 'enough already' opinion led blogs instead of news. As one blogger joked, perhaps it's because most bloggers' posts read like they suffer from some form of ADD...

Seriously though, I'd be interested to see if the bloggers with this staying power of sorts have gained any increased audiences or respect among users, despite tackling a story which only a relative few are following (in detail / every day).

Re: Educators debate: Do journalists still need shorthand?

I would ask the same question as Martin: Do you class all journalists outside the UK as both morons and non-journalsits? While I would not dissagree that shorthand is a useful skilll, it is only that.
Recording combined with note taking is the most usual method in Sweden at the moment. Transcripts take too long to get if you are on deadline. I always marvel at the way UK journos really believe that shorthand is an absolute pre-requisite. It is handy, granted. But not a deal breaker in most of the world.
