Backpack journalism is here to stay, response from Manu Bhandari

Backpack journalists will definitely rule the roost in the coming future. Traditional media are already feeling insecure about sticking to a single medium, and they want to pull audiences of each other. This will make them inevitably embrace multimedia. However, like some others feel, it might be very challenging to be able to work efficiently though different media for journalists. Nevertheless, I don't think it cannot be done if journalists are trained properly. Jane Steven's concept of producer-driven and reporter-driven stories is also interesting.
