One of the greatest challenges that managers face is dealing with a new generation of staffers. The Millennial Generation -- also known as Gen Y, the Internet Generation and the Echo Boomers -- is reshaping your newsroom. They seem to operate under a different set of rules than what is expected in traditional newsrooms.
In this Webinar, originally broadcast July 9, 2009, you'll learn to understand what Millennials are really saying and what motivates them. Learn how newsrooms can become a place for Millennials to thrive and how managers can embrace what these younger journalists bring to our changing industry.
What Will I Learn:
- How to identify who falls into this generation and understanding how they have come to be defined
- Understand why the success of newsroom managers is tied to helping young staffers succeed
- Recognize the contributions Millennials can make in the newsroom
- Tips on finding opportunities for Millennials in the newsroom
- How to improve communication with them
Who Should Take this Course:
This course is for any manager who knows how valuable -- and frustrating -- new blood in the newsroom can be.
