Is it enough to have mastered journalistic skills and have years under your belt when it comes to succeeding in today's newsrooms?
What really drives a successful management career? It’s more than management skills -- it’s a 360-degree management mindset that enables you to understand and marshal the forces that impact your career and get what you need for and from your team.
This Webinar, originally broadcast Nov. 12, 2008, explores the truths and myths about newsroom management and how alliances and influence are as important as technical skills in determining your success as a manager.

This Webinar is part of a four-part series, "Managing Today's Newsroom: NABJ Newsroom Management Web Seminar." All four parts can be purchased for a special package price of $129.
