Sure revenue will be lost by certain media if aidonline spreads and gains volume - however lets face it how effective are banner ads and isn't time eb.dk actually embraced modern journalism and web2.0 - i would point you into the direction of the the NYT or the Guardian in the UK who are moving away from the impotent banner ad offering into useful stuff for their users(not readers) - they have even opened up their API's too - eb or other media can't blame the innovation of aidonline for their demise or job losses - more so blame yourselves for not adapting quickly enough to web2.0 and what it really means - you know the crucial point that you can't buy success you have to earn it online by doing useful good stuff - something advertisers are starting to grasp faster than you it seems - plus its for charity - these endeavours can only be a good thing - its time to innovate my friends and step up to the active communications model. However sincerly hope you don't lose your job over this - pioneer new territory and grasp the ethos of web2.0....time to move on....cheers Interesting post.

I'm fortunate enough to have had the option to move Denmark to UK to study for my online journalism degree. Currently in my third year, I'm involved in teaching the second years OJ students. HTML is, but shouldn't be unrealistic. That said, I think teaching RSS, twitter, social media etc. is far more important. If you're interested, my lecturer puts all the lessons on his blog.

Although I'm almost positive that by code they mean HTML, it's still unrealistic. It is normal for a Project Manager to know some coding, it is not for other professions, such as Journalism, Law, etc... This is an unrealistic requirement.

I think we agree on the programming issue, but if I was an editor at an online media I would start looking for journalists with programming experience and knowledge. It takes the load of the IT department and makes it possible for the journalists and the media in general to move faster implementing new online features. At least in my point of view :-) Hi Karin,

Thanks for your comment.

I work quite a lot with schools, teachers colleges and journalists in general. The basic web-skills are often lacking - it has to change. As for programming - I disagree. Older teachers will remember the time when it was decided that all teachers should be able to programme in Algol - no way, but basic web competences like attaching files to emails, aubscribing to an RSS-feed or a podcast, even recording audio or video and uploading it to a website should be oblogatory - at any school.
