10 skills every journalist must have

Do you have these 10 vital skills to enable you to be a modern digital journalist? According to Mark Luckie, you must know how to:

1. Write an SEO-friendly headline

2. Include a link in a story

3. Upload a story into a content management system

4. Take a proper photograph

5. Send an attachment in, and download an attachment from, an email

6. Operate a video camera

7. Hold a microphone properly

8. Use an audio recorder

9. Post a tweet

10. Search the web effectively

I don't want to be unduly rude to Mr Luckie, but I can't imagine that there are many experienced journalists who haven't mastered these skills by now.

As for student journalists - not to mention my 10-year-old grandson - it's all second nature anyway.
