Co-sponsored by the Middle Tennessee State University School of Journalism and College of Mass Communication, American Society of Newspaper Editors, Tennessee Press Association, Tennessee Associated Press Managing Editors, and Kentucky Associated Press.

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.
