Steve Rubel has a great post about The Reporter of the Future. Essentially he describes how a reporter who covers the Yankees for a smaller New York area paper is using all kinds of tools to cover spring training. The reporter takes pictures with his iPhone, he has a blog he updates daily, he has a Facebook group, he produces a podcast and he hosts an live text/video chat with readers using CoverItLive.
Yesterday I wrote about the folks at the Winston-Salem Journal having to take 10 days of unpaid leave. Maybe the reporters can spend some of that time studying this guy and seeing what their future professional lives might look like.
