Lost Remote’s s Cory Bergman thinks J-schools should downplay anchor careers:
“Journalism schools, as a public service, should strongly discourage students from pursuing an anchoring career. The emphasis should be on the “do-it-all” multimedia journalist who can produce, report, write, shoot and edit both on TV and the web. Flexibility is key.”

Hmm, I wonder how they’re dealing with this idea in areas and markets where unions are still king?
