My Opinion - I think this is good, instead of letting a profession lose its purpose with all the citizen journalism being used today, they have come up with a course to give a deeper insight into digital journalism, bringing in new skills, practice and the ability to pursue own projects..
They are adapting now even a profession into the change of new and digital media. Soon enough , there will be a degree on Digital Journalism.. If there isn't one already :)
