Silverman: Multimedia is the future of journalism

Says Tennessean editor Mark Silverman in his Sunday column:

I'm often asked if I would advise young people to go into journalism. My emphatic answer is "yes."

While an increasing number of people prefer online delivery of news and information, print newspapers typically remain the single biggest news media in most communities. Taken together, newspapers' print and online coverage offers a bright future for young people who want to make a positive difference in their communities.
