Rebecca MacKinnon: “I would rather see education about the practice of journalism better integrated into basic high school English classes, and definitely into the required curriculum for all college students. In a world where all citizens can and increasingly do create media, we need to teach people the skills, social responsibilities, as well as legal and personal consequences of what they post online. I’ve always felt that our school system fails to educate the American public on how the news we consume gets made – and how to be an intelligent consumer of that news. These skills are all the more urgent now that practically anybody can become a news organization.”
