As university spurns NCTJ accreditation, do journalists need it nowadays?

13 September, 2010 by Einar Thorsen Leave a Comment

Brian McNair argues that journalists of the future need:

talent, imagination, a spirit of independence, an understanding of IT and social networking and their impact on media, culture and society in general; everything in short, that the NCTJ curriculum squeezed out with its relentless stress on externally-decreed learning by rote.

[…]

The old world of print journalism in which the NCTJ was formed is passing into history, replaced by content-generating users, citizen journalists and all those journalistic wannabees who make up the globalised, digitised public sphere in the 21st century.
