The world needs informed journalists capable of telling stories in a variety of ways. Simpson supplies them.
Modern communication professionals need more than a notebook and pencil. They need to know how to shoot video, produce content for social media and supply information to meet the 24/7 news demand. They also need to understand the basics: fairness, accuracy, precision, strategy and tactics.
