Robert Niles (the guy behind OJR) has even been in to look over our online proposals, even though many of us are still working out our own comfort zone with new technologies. At each stage, we’ve had excellent instruction and have expanded our respective skill sets because of that attention.
I can’t say enough about the program.
Annenberg is truly driven by the innovative bent to which it aspires, and Geneva, you have reminded me that – contrary to the Chicken Littles – this is indeed a good time to be a journalist. Even a “legacy” journalist! (which I’m not)…because quality and ethics will never be replaced by quantitative ubiquity.
