NCTJ moving with the times

Andy Dickinson, who taught me online journalism at Preston, has an interesting post on his excellent blog. It is about the NCTJ’s attempt to update their photography and photojournalism syllabuses. The person responsible for the updating is Andy Bull, and he is blogging his progress.

The work Andy is doing does appear to be an attempt to embrace the online/multimedia environment. He is talking about video and multimedia presentations. While photographers once took photographs for a newspaper, they are now being asked to do a lot more than that. Since video and multimedia is becoming increasingly important to newspapers (and not just the nationals) this all makes sense.
