Mush of Need-iocrity

Despite its title "Backpack Journalism a Mush of Mediocrity" was largely positive toward the concept of multimedia journalism. I saw it as being a warning against losing quality work by people who specialize in one area. Both articles blatantly say that a multimedia approach must become the norm for news organiztions if they want to remain relevant with modern consumers. Both articles stress the impotance of not removing the journalist's effectiveness by forcing them into uncomfortable new mediums, if they excel at only one. These two articles are meant to discuss the need for quality backpack journalist, neither was against the concept.
