Building a resilient newsroom
Help your newsroom weather any storm with this two-day course, and look after your most precious assets: your journalists.
Your news team is your most valuable asset, but how do you help your staff do their best work in an age of burnout? Resilient journalists make for resilient newsrooms. Learn how to help your team survive in a highly pressured, always-changing news world. Navigate any crisis as a collective, and deal effectively with short- and long-term change. Rebuild trust between reporters and management. Help your journalists live better lives on a work and personal level, and know when, where and how to refer them for professional assistance.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
- Change your organisational culture to build resilience
- Relook workflows and structures with operational resilience in mind
- Initiate open conversations around well-being
- Build morale through strategy and connectedness
- Help your team embrace new ideas
- Identify trauma and burnout in journalists
