Indeed. I expect media companies' salary offers for relatively junior people with these skills will have to become far more "competitive" — with the sort of professional services firms that would no doubt poach people with these skills.
I'm really glad City is looking at this stuff. I was there as a postgrad in 2004-5, and we learned precisely nothing in this area. Not even Flash. OK, there was some basic HTML in the form of learning Dreamweaver, but not to a high enough standard to take someone from novice to employable as an online producer.
Beyond not being able to do CAR investigations and online databases, what worries me is that all the professions journalists deal with — particularly in big business and government — are becoming far more sophisticated in gathering, manipulating and presenting data.
We are being intellectually outgunned by the people we are supposed to hold to account.

As for courses, I know the Journalism BA at Kingston requires students to keep a blog for at least one module and another one gets the students working with Dreamweaver. Not great, but a start.
