WHAT SKILLS FOR NEW AGE ?

Digital news is a constantly updated, changed, moved, developed ongoing conversation and collaboration

“It is a return to the pre – Gutenberg state which fixed the news in a fixed format to the previous ways news had been passed around as unfiltered, multidirectional exchange of information as if you went to the agora after lunch in the town square of the Ancient Greece”

Dick Costolo, CEO of Twitter
