Out of all the industries that have undergone serious changes in recent years, journalism has probably transformed the most. In past years reporters could make a name for themselves by simply interviewing sources and writing their stories before deadline. In the age of instantaneous news that’s delivered over the Internet, the job description has changed significantly.

These days, journalists are expected to have advanced Web design and photography skills by the time they enter into the job market. Armed with a camcorder and video tripod, they can offer readers bonus multimedia coverage of stories that would have only been covered from one perspective just a few years ago. The result has been that reporters are diversifying their skills and readers are benefiting from increasingly creative news coverage.
