On The Menu: Digital Journalism And Going To J-School

Today’s guest was Vadim Lavrusik, a Mashable.com and Poynter.com contributor who just started graduate school at Columbia’s Journalism School. As so many journalists struggle to survive in the industry, why did Lavrusik decide to go to grad school straight out of his undergraduate journalism studies? To gain valuable training in digital media, he said.

“I really wanted to dive into the digital journalism sphere…and really learn and soak up as much as I could before the program,” he said of his work this summer.
