Journalism is taking a turn into online and the copy editors are looking into a bright future. Broadcast and Print Journalism is certainly in a problem time period but online is thriving because there is plenty of work out there and the skills needed just aren't including video or audio production. Online will basically be using what reporters come to the table with to fill their space rather than reporting themselves. Good news for those going into the industry with copy editing skills under their belt!
