If you're willing and capable of adapting to change, then you're not doing it right. Because technology, social media and simple human nature is changing journalism -- and the whole world, for that matter -- much faster than any newspaper; than any modern journalist can follow.
It's not enough to change or to be willing to adapt. You have to be able to reinvent yourself. To remake your entire skill set, your goals, your outlook on your career and on life itself.
