Backpack Journalism

Reading the articles about experiences and criticisms of convergence journalism helped strengthen my belief in the idea.  I believe that it would benefit a company to send a single reporter to cover an event.  Then the company could cover a broader scope of stories, and give several different angles at them.  International coverage could be greatly expanded, take for example the situation in Afghanistan.  But like the criticisms said, convergence reporting is not for everyone.  However, I disagree with some of the criticisms because I feel that convergence is the future of journalism and should be planned for in the some time future.
