Yes, that's right, it's a question I'm asking, not the title of an entry where I'm about to tell you what's going on in this multi-media world. Blogs, websites, breaking news online, video journalism, Google, You Tube... which is the winner in the ethernet, and which should be concentrated on by us old print hacks who are such professionals at, er, print journalism?
Today I was discussing training budgets for next year for the Birmingham Mail, and the subject again was a bit of a lottery. Should we send four, eight or 12 print hacks on a basic video-journalism course to add to our current VJ team of one? Or is the SEO course the one we should be reserving places on (search engine optimisation)?
Or is it a mass trip to the old UCE where top blogger Paul Bradshaw can give my team a once over in how to create the greatest blogs (I'm quite keen on this one as I don't really think anyone should be following me...)
Then there's CMS uploading techniques, URL differentiation seminars and, not to forget it, the latest techniques in Flash to be picked up....
Any advice out there?

As a competent search engine guru, I could easily concur on the things you've said. Still, a crucial point for anyone to always bear in mind is that search engines will rank your website high if you get high PR Do-Follow links to your site with suitable anchored text. Remember this, and nothing else sort of makes a difference.
