Howard Finberg, the director of interactive studies at The Poynter Institute, and Jeff Jarvis from the City University of New York appeared on Minnesota Public Radio’s Dec. 20 morning program to talk about the value of a multimedia journalism education.

The discussion underscores what we’re discussing here in Kansas regarding CTE funding: that journalism education is a central part of a good education, and that journalism isn’t a dying profession, just one that ‘s changing rapidly.
