It lists that today's skills for post-platform journalists include news reporting, data analysis, videography, photography, audio, interactive design, HTML/CSS, copy writing, and programming. It also notes that the ability to work hard and convey truth remains constant, but that tomorrow's skills are unknown and journalists need to be prepared, agile, and ready to learn constantly to adapt.
