After reading each perspective on the issue of backpack journalism, I tend to side with the ideology of Jane Stevens in "Backpacking Journalism is Here to Stay." I believe that although we will be trained on many different types of media, our concentrations will allow us to be an "expert" in a specific area. This will allow us to jump right into the role of a team member that can execute one element exceptionally well, or any needed element effectively. Moreover, unlike the older generation of professionals working in the industry today, we will already have much of the training that they are trying to acquire. Arguably, this could make our roles even more flexible and less costly to our employers.
