ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Instructor: Greg Johnson
Whether it’s online news, a newspaper or a yearbook, it all starts with leadership — the individual or team in charge of the publication’s editorial direction. Through this workshop, students will develop key transferable skills such as accountability, flexibility, creativity and communication, working cooperatively to re-imagine a current news publication.
This intensive workshop will train participants in strategies governing:
- Editorial Leadership
- Management Style
- News Judgment
- Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
- Setting Policies & Procedures
- Staffing Issues & Conflict Resolution
Participants will learn what success looks like through decision-making, role playing, making mistakes, and resolving errors. In addition to training and instruction, participants in this workshop will hear from journalism professionals for a better understanding of what it means to lead, accept responsibility, and thrive in real-world environments.
