Gaps in the new media skills of TV and radio journos according to a survey

According to a survey from the association of electronic journalists,only 38% of TV and radio news directors say their staffs are “really on top of new technology and where they’re headed.” The rest have “a long way to go” (48%) or are “mostly winging it” (13.7%).

The study show that practically every TV news station has a web siteand nearly all radio stations also have one

Looking specifically at TV, a vast majority (92.7%) of sites are airing video, but many fewer are airing newscasts, either live (33.9%) or recorded (30.6%). Interestingly, the Web publication of recorded newscasts dropped from a year ago while live newscasts increased, and there was more audio streamed online.
A little more than half the stations in the survey are producing blogs (55.6%) and just a fraction have the option to let users assemble their own newscasts (8.1%).
