Co-sponsored by the California State University, Northridge Department of Journalism, and the American Society of Newspaper Editors. This workshop is being underwritten by a generous grant from the John Ben Snow Memorial Trust.

In this one-day workshop, you’ll get an overview of the critical realities of today’s newsroom, where staffs are stretched, functions are streamlined or outsourced, and content is shared. You’ll learn how newsrooms are re-engineering to deliver news and information across multiple platforms to multiple audiences. And you’ll be one step closer to transforming your newsroom into a modern media organization.


WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Executive editors, managing editors, associate and assistant managing editors, and senior editors.
