Journalism schools across Ontario say they are adapting their programs to better reflect changes in the industry, teaching students how to become storytellers not just in traditional newsrooms, but in other fields as well.

It's a shift media educators say will prepare graduates for careers that might have to withstand several shocks – a reality underscored as many journalism students received their diplomas this week while massive layoffs took place at Bell Media.

Those cuts came a few months after newspaper chain Postmedia laid off 11 per cent of its editorial staff. "It's about really preparing our students for the future of this industry," she said. "It is about creating content across multiple platforms." "Now, there's a greater diversity of places that students are seeing themselves as being involved and invested in telling fact-based stories that are important to their communities."
