This seminar has been cancelled.  If you'd like to be notified when a similar seminar is scheduled, please contact API's vice president of programming, Carol Ann Riordan.


A seminar for editors who want to lead news processing desks through the changes they face as newsrooms restructure for innovation.

Who Should Attend?
Leaders of news desks, copy desks or newly organized desks that process news, editorial and community content for multiple platforms.

How Your Organization Will Benefit
Newsrooms are reorganizing to meet the challenges of serving multiple platforms with expanding content. In some places, the news desk or copy desk has been replaced by a delivery desk or digital nerve center. Where the copy desk remains, its jobs are changing faster than ever. In this seminar, leaders of your desk will learn:

  • How to manage staff and copy flow for the 24/7 newsroom.
  • How to maintain quality and uphold standards for multiple platforms.
  • How to hire, train, allocate and/or reallocate staff to fulfill new roles.
  • How to write headlines that will help search engines find your stories.
