Online-More of a mindset than a job?

Kevin Anderson asks exactly what an online journalist should be,picking up form a recent comment by Craig McGill

So what should a digital/online reporter be? Should they go out on stories alongside print reporters and basically be someone who takes video, pictures and audio soundbites and then files it back to the office? Should they also be editing that content just as a wordsmith edits his words? Or should all of that be the work of the reporter and there shouldn’t be an online tag? Said reporter then comes back to the office and crafts/edits the words and everything else? Seems like a lot of work for one person.

But Kevin comes round to the conclusion that it is not so much of a job but a mindset

for me, why the self-definition as an online journalist means more than a job description
