Minn. newspapers get retraining funds for Internet

Minn. newspapers to share $238K in grant money to retrain staffs for Internet age

Tuesday February 24, 2009, 2:17 pm EST

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) -- Two Minnesota newspapers will receive a share of state grants normally given to retrain workers in manufacturing and other industries in transition.

The Duluth News Tribune and the St. Paul Pioneer Press will work with the University of Minnesota's School of Journalism and Mass Communication to help staff adapt to an increasingly Internet-based industry.

Minnesota Job Skills Partnership is awarding $238,000 in state funds, while the newspapers and the university will contribute about $469,000 combined, mostly by devoting staff time to training.

Paul Moe, the state program's director, said newspapers around the country are looking closely at the project as a potential model.

Kathleen Hansen, director of the university's Minnesota Journalism Center, said the grant idea came from the Pioneer Press. She said the application was unusual for a state agency more accustomed to businesses that deal in plastics or crop machinery.

"This is a very different kind of workforce group," she said.

Hansen said training will be tailored to the skills of the newsroom and advertising sales staffs at the newspapers. She said a primary goal for both departments will be getting them away from print-based thinking.

Some journalists "don't know how to start thinking about stories without thinking about what's going to be in the print newspaper," she said.

Journalists will likely study new ways of telling stories and new ways of delivering content, and perhaps get some training in using software.

Ad sales people will look at different ways to connect consumers with advertisers, treating the Internet as a one-on-one medium rather than one serving a mass audience, as is the case in print.

Rob Karwath, executive editor of the News Tribune, said he hopes the grant will help his newspaper come up with new products that deliver news and advertising to readers and methods to get more feedback from customers.

The USA got screwed over big time and no-one is willing to admit it. It started with Bush-1 then Clinton and then Bush-2 pushed it to new heights. People just couldnt see paying $1,000 a month rent when you could buy a house for $1150.00 a month, and then figure in the fact that home prices were constantly rising, it looked to be the right thing to do. Then the decent paying jobs disapeared, and you got trouble.

Specifically adressing your first comment on the Executive branch putting pressure on the mortgage lenders, leading to the doom we are in today.

Nobody forced the people (homeowners) that signed those loans to take a $185K loan when they could really only afford a $125K loan.

We, the 'people' are as much at fault as the government in this housing mess. Even more specifically, the 'people' of our (you and me) generation are right in the middle of it all.

Until WE take responsibility and accountability for that, it won't get better. Instead, it is easier for our generation to blame Bush, blame the banks, blame the government, etc.

It's sickening.

The link I posted has nothing to do with the text. THEY GAVE HIM A FRICKIN' HALO IN THE PICTURE! Just in case you needed any further proof that the media is completely and totally convinced that this guy is the Messiah. For reference, here's another link you might take a look at if you just don't see the resemblance:
