From internet technology to smart phones, communication technology has been developed rapidly. It has changed the forms of communication and also the ways of how audiences obtain information. It also changes the ecological environment for workplace and affects the job competence of journalists. From the perspective of human resource management, this study argues that priority should be given to increase human capital of media. Human capital is the key factor of organizational competitive advantage, while job competence is the key feature to exert positive influences on job performance and efficiency. This study considers that job competence of journalists should be more diversified to include photo taking, photo-editing, internet and other multi-skills. In addition, the operation among journalists is moving towards teamwork. Therefore the team competence must be upgraded as well to improve team knowledge sharing and innovation. Last but not least, it is about management competence. High job autonomy of journalists requires high self-management of personal life and emotions. The purpose of this study is to integrate the context of current information technology changes and to construct a job competence model to update the traditional job competence. Either theoretically or practically, we hope the journalist competence model will be an important tool to change the chaotic situation of media.
