This puts a new twist on the argument over the relevance of J-school. How do you teach journalism when you don't know what journalism will look like in two years, let alone two months? It's problem many J-schools are struggling with at the moment. A recent survey of Australian J-students found that 90 percent of them do not read papers (which, actually, sounds about right...how many kids do you see in the city reading print papers?). Meanwhile, NYMag reports on the fallout at Columbia's J-School when the Times plucked student from CUNY to help contribute to its newly launched 'Local' blog.

Columbia's vaunted ability to train students as print reporters began to appear obsolete. And so the school is trying to change. Fast.

Beginning in August, Columbia will offer a revamped, digitally focused curriculum designed to make all students as capable of creating an interactive graphic as they are of pounding out 600 words on a community-board meeting.
