Columbia to combine journalism, computer science in new digital media focus — eSchoolNews.com
From DSC:
Given what has been and is occurring within journalism — and publishing in general — this is a great move by Columbia. With the ability to offer interactive, multimedia-based, digital storytelling on devices like the iPad, these types of skills will come in handy. Along those lines, I think it’s very beneficial to students when they encounter such cross-disciplinary assignments, projects, and environments — as that’s what teams in the real-world have to do.
