I need a bigger backpack

I am obviously excited to be starting the Convergence sequence, mainly because I look forward to learning how to do various skills in journalism across different mediums.

With that being said, I can see where Martha Stone would be worried about journalists becoming a jack of all trades, but a master of none. I feel it is best to learn how to work exceptionally across one medium and have tools on top of this to make one more appealing to employers.

I cannot decide if I agree with Brandon about being good at five things or great at one. It is great to be proficient and respectable working with various mediums. But I think you better be great at one - and then build on it.
