Is Backpack Journalism a mess or a success?

I believe that backpack journalism is the way to the future. With the growing internet age, it is becoming harder and harder to adapt. Employers want journalists who will be able to do more than just write or just edit. Being able to do more than one thing is a definite advantage, although many argue that it may be “a mush of mediocrity.” I can see how having one journalist do everything at once is unrealistic, but that is why convergence news is more of a team effort. Being able to work well with others is a major key aspect in this business, and those who sign up for it need to be able to keep up with the evolving age.
