Sunday musings

Just kicking back today enjoying probably the last warm and breezy weather after a busy week in D.C.

It was great to connect with alums and meet some others I did not know like Jennifer Carroll, Gannett vice president of new media content. She moderated a Saturday session at the Online News Association conference I attended.

I've made some great contacts and got some solid ideas on where the news media is heading in the digital world. My goal is to make sure you, our future graduates, are competitive and skilled to take advantage of the digital newsroom.

To be competitive, you'll need to sharpen or learn skills in video and audio if you are planning a career in what was once the print media. We're going to help you. Stay tuned.

And go Tigers! You've gotta know that L.A. is grinning from ear to ear after last night's trouncing of the Yankees.
