Journalism on fast-forward

3 things for journalism students this week:

2nd SCREEN TIME. If you didn't monitor Twitter while watching the presidential debates, Will Oremus writes in Slate, "you missed half the show.

GRAPHIC WARNING. Infogr.am lets anyone "create cool info-graphics on the fly" and share them as easily as one would a photo. Tech Crunch asks: Death knell for designers?

POWER UP.
-- The Drudge Report is worth hundreds of millions, according to Henry Blodget, writing in Business Insider.
