I think the important things to teach in journalism never change:

  ethics in media

  psychology of mass media

  effective communication
I don't think understanding the history of the internet (which is something I do think people should know) is critical to journalism, unless you are a tech journalist.

The method of communications delivery doesn't matter.

maybe the history of the Internet isn't so important, but more of understanding how what you're writing reaches it's audience is
