The Digital Future... is Comin' On, It's Comin' On...

A little homage to Gorillaz in the headline there...

Anyway, Christy did some web research yesterday and came up with an assortment of noteworthy links:

* NBC News and the New York Film Academy are collaborating to turn out "digital journalist" graduates who understand how to gather news with all the toys in their knapsack. Smart of the behemoth to outsource the development of their craft to people who understand the medium but not the messages.

* A USC professor whose students seek work in "digital media" built a tag cloud derived from job postings at JournalismJobs.com. Notice how small the word "multimedia" is, compared with "Flash" or "blog".

* Video clearinghouses such as Newscom are now offering TV-quality broadcast video for download, as well as the web-quality stuff. Reuters is the first supplier -- the first of many, no doubt.
