Thanks to the New York Times Student Journalism Institute, 22 students are getting the chance to learn about multiple mediums of journalism.

Staff members from the New York Times Co. presented five specialties offered at this year’s newsroom: video journalism, Web production, copy editing, page design and wire editing.

While several presenters spoke about the different opportunities available over the next two weeks, the underlying message of the specialties workshop was the same: Good reporting, clear writing and news judgment will set any good journalist apart from the rest. Simone Oliver, a fashion and Styles Web producer, and Justen Fox, a technical producer, offered clear insight: the industry now values individuals who have technical skills and news judgment.

 ”The job market was always competitive, but it’s especially competitive now,” Oliver said. “You have to become the person who wears many hats.”
