]]> IJIE member Asbjorn Slot Jorgensen (Danish School of Media and Journalism, DMJX) presented his paper ‘Adapt or die – teaching swiss-knife journalism’ at the “JEANZ 2014 – State of the Industry” annual conference. The event was held at the University of Canterbury (Christchurch, New Zealand) on December 4 and 5, 2014.

In his presentation, Jorgensen delved into the key findings of the IJIE project. More precisely, he addressed the core dilemmas facing the teaching of cross-media journalistic work that have emerged from the national reports and comparative report, documents produced within the research. Those include: (1) the multi-skilling/de-skilling schism; (2) the diverse tech-savvy among journalists and (3) the constant restructuring of journalism education.

In his talk, Jorgensen also shed light on central recommendations from the IJIE project, such as the following:

  • We seriously need mobile thinking in our curricula.
  • The market demands highly specialised experts and fast-working generalists; and nothing in-between.
  • There is an urgent need for updating ethics codes and teaching practices, with regards to changes in the way we collect, assess, and disseminate story elements.
  • Journalists must master cross-media platforms, and must also possess collaborative skills.
  • Entrepreneurial skills are needed while a new media industry is taking over from legacy media.
  • Journalists must speak the language of the IT experts; coding is a candidate for journalism curricula.

In the presentation, which was a part of the opening plenary session “Adapt or Die – Journalism education and big changes in the media landscape”, findings from work packages 2 and 3 were presented with specific focus on the Nordic educations and media industry. The following questions were posed to the audience: Being journalism educators, which methods, material and technology do we need to prepare the students for cross-media and collaborative journalism? How does a digital and convergent media landscape affect journalism ethics and the journalistic identity? And facing the radical changes in the media landscape, should we teach new business models and entrepreneurship?

The Nordic Conference for Journalism teachers takes place every second year with participation from 20 Nordic journalism educational institutions from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Greenland and Denmark.
