I asked Ms. Leo:
What do you tell young, aspiring journalists about the future of the business? Can you still be encouraging? What advice do you give them?
Her response:
Great reporting and editing is not going to go away. And why should we care about the delivery system, which is changing yearly? My advice to young people is not to wait for someone or some thing to "authorize" you. Got an idea for a great story? Start reporting it. Start blogging. Start taking photos, if that's your talent and passion. And find a mentor - some professional who will read your stuff and give you an honest appraisal.
