Evolution of the Modern Editor
A generation ago, editors could be content with journalism alone. Now an increasing number are serving as publishers, helping produce ad products, considering new business models, working on circulation events and managing increasingly complicated budgets. What skills does someone need to step up in the leadership ranks, and what do current editors wish they had known before taking the top job?

Workplace Integrity: Do You Qualify As An Ally?
You oppose harassment, discrimination and incivility. You want co-workers, especially those who’ve traditionally been underrepresented in newsrooms, to know you stand ready to support them as an ally. But just as you can’t describe yourself as a leader unless people choose to follow you, you can’t simply declare that you’re an ally unless others see you as such. How do you earn that distinction? In this session, drawn from the Freedom Forum Institute’s Power Shift Project, Jill Geisler will share ten ways you can earn the right to be called an ally. She’ll also share valuable information on free Workplace Integrity training opportunities for your newsroom.
