BaltTech blog highlights J/NM student
June 15, 2009
Tyler Waldman was the subject of a recent Baltimore Sun BaltTech post. Writer Gus Sentementes recounts meeting Tyler at news conference and being surprised that the Towson senior was carrying a video camera in his role as an intern for WBAL Radio. Sentementes’ comments reinforce the importance of the new converged curriculum at Towson:
The Web has torn down the walls among different kinds of media (print, TV, radio) and given us all the same level playing field.It’s so important for the next crop of journalists, like Tyler, to get early experience in doing journalism with whatever tools can help him tell the best story, and one that can be consumed by the most amount of people.
In a comment on the post, Tyler echoed the writer’s sentiments: “Learning to be versatile is going to be key for the next generation of journalists.”
