I would only add that the core skill, the common denominator that will run through all these changes is the ability to tell a good story. No matter the medium you use, the story has to be there. I think that some bloggers in paticular lose sight of that. A keen understanding of what's at stake, who the stakeholders are and all other elements of a compelling story is what will bring the eyeballs and advertisers to the page. Good piece.

Week one was blogs, week two was a content management system and basic HTML. Week three was citizen journalism, UGC and images. Week four - audio - I sent them out with hard disk recorders to interview someone. This week - video. Throughout they're posting to a live news website (www.mediastudent.com/newsonline/) and their own correspondent blogs. Then, after a week's break from classes, they return to work in teams combining Flash, video, images and audio to create 'multimedia interactives'. It's a tall order to ask them to do all of that - but at least they'll have the experience of the wide range of areas they need to enter the profession.
