Hmm. I don’t know about “fixing the training problem” or “talent not being rewarded”, but maybe you could start by fixing a few basic spelling and grammar problems.

Such as removing the extraneous “s” from the word “media”, in your headline, for example.

[...] De l’importance de revoir en profondeur la formation continue des journalistes | Monday Note &… – To sum up, in most old news organizations (I don’t want to overgeneralize, some will blast this column with eagerly awaited counter examples) * talent is not rewarded * incompetence is not penalized either * therefore people tend to be demotivated * which in turns leads to moonlighting (usually in broad daylight)… * …to the benefit of other news outlets gladly relying on a dynamic phalanx of non-permanent, flexible staff * all of the above takes place within a rapidly changing context: increased pressure from previously buried expertise such as highly knowledgeable bloggers, as well as from audience demands and challenges. Try to migrate toward the digital era with such deadweight. In such turbulent times, the bean-counter approach is staff trimming, more in an Excel kind of way, than based on the assessment of core competencies needed today and tomorrow. [...]

As pointed out training and learning seems an unnecessary factor in many news industries. It is funny to see that attendance at our conferences -where people can learn from each other and exchange experience- is mostly from successful companies. International conferences are a training experience but to many seem to be a luxury for the few happy ones. Our conference at http://www.outlook2010-liverpool.org will definitely be a learning experience with networking possibilities to be used all year long. Inge Van Gaal

The claim that “today’s learner will have had 10-14 jobs… by the age of 38″ has been making the rounds since 2007 if not earlier — Goggle the phrase to find the (rather in-your-face, and unsourced) PowerPoint presentation on http://www.kjcg.com

Presumably the original source is the US Bureau of Labor Statistics; I was unable to find the statement on its website — but while trying to do so, I did come across this useful entry in its “Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2008-2009 edition”:

http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos088.htm

For what it’s worth, there is also this August 30, 2004 release from the Bureau that reveals that “young boomers” — persons born from 1957 to 1964 — will have held … 10.2 jobs from ages 18 to 38. Thus, the situation for “today’s learner” is not really so remarkable. (And remember, these are generalised findings for the US labour market, not necessarily applicable in other job markets such as Europe and India.)
