"Dispatch from the Digital Frontier: Experience Matters," Feb. 22, 2011.
We make much of our experiences, because our experiences make us.
I’m reminded of this every day at Mizzou School of Journalism as I watch student journalists live the “Missouri Method,” an immersive learning approach to journalism education. Some make graceful leaps from classroom to newsroom and back again. Most trek back and forth, with a few spectacular stumbles along the way. The “back and forth” is what counts, though, and it’s why wanna-be journalists from around the world hope to attend Mizzou: for the practical experience that they can’t get anywhere else. (Really, that’s what they say.)
