What does it take to become a leader in today’s newsroom? How can you make collaboration and visual planning part of your daily newsroom culture?
It takes initiative, vision, tenacity, good coaching and — above all — the desire to make the strongest possible connection with your audience.
In this one-day Poynter workshop at the Society for News Design Workshop in Houston at the Hilton Americas:
• You’ll get advice from some of the best visual leaders in the industry about what it takes to go from “good” to “excellent” visual journalism.
• You’ll find practical ideas to put to use in your own newsroom: Ideas for setting goals, pitching ideas, building trust, resolving conflict, motivating others and more.
When people are actively engaged in solving problems and sharing ideas, the work automatically gets better.
The stories and editing are tighter, the photos and headlines are stronger, the graphics are more informative and the design and presentation can be more cohesive and meaningful.
In short, the reader wins.
