In August 2010 Blogger Robert Niles give students his top five tips on how to succeed during your journalism education. The one that I found the most interesting? Your career is only as strong as your network.
I thought it was interesting that a few years ago "building your network" meant getting to know your professors and having them help you find internships. Today, your "network" can extend state boundaries and even country boundaries thanks to Twitter, Facebook, TumblR and other social networks.
The blog also gives some interesting tips that make us realize how we must understand and grasp that the way we become successful has changed, and thanks to the Internet we are required to be journalists all the time, not just when we're writing the story.
