A recent article in the Examiner explored what the future job of a journalist may look like in a climate where journalism is thriving and newspapers are not.  

According to the article, journalists will not only have to learn to interview sources, but also write stories for different media platforms, and understand basic business principles so they can market themselves. Journalists will have to continuously market themselves to multiple news organizations, rather than just writing for a single news organization exclusively.  

According to Amar Bakshi, a reporter and filmmaker for washingtonpost.com, "what's nice about the Web ... is you can develop a brand for yourself for people to engage with you."

Kevin Blaickistone, a sports writer and professor at Maryland's College of Journalism believes that "journalism is not dead.  Journalism is alive and well. I would argue [that] journalism is thriving."
