Pew State of the Media Report Item #3

Key Findings (News Investment, Newspapers)

I found this section interesting and, logically, it sounds as if those with digital experience are the future of the news.  The article mentions upper management resigning or retiring and the trend to turn to someone with  a digital background.  The same seems to be true for editors and reporters.

"The contemporary newsroom has fewer articles to produce after trims in the physical size of paper and reduction of the space devoted to news.  But the remaining editors and reporters are also being stretched further by the need to generate content suitable for smart phones and tablets as well as establishing a social media presence."
