- Managing
Projects for Successful Results “Project” is
a fearsome word for many in the newspaper business,
because it often means extra work that drags on for
months with no end in sight, too many headaches and
too few rewards. Project management isn’t easy,
but it can be satisfying, and careful management can
minimize the headaches. This
handout was developed as part of a seminar for Ottaway
Newspapers by API's Director of Tailored Programs, Steve
Buttry.
- Improve
your brainstorming sessions Brainstorming is a great way
to mobilize the creative talents of a group to generate ideas.
Tom Arnold, Managing Partner, Summit
Media Partners LLC, has found a few rules that work well.
- Covering
Your Community as a Team A
team works best when individual members respect the goals and
needs of the team and when the team respects the goals, aspirations
and individuality of team members. Steve
Buttry, Writing Coach, Omaha World-Herald, compiled this handout
for a workshop he presented for newsroom teams.
- Developing
Story Ideas Reporters and editors are partners in developing
story ideas. Reporters should present editors with thoughtful,
detailed proposals and should not expect editors to embrace every
half-baked suggestion. Editors should help reporters develop,
focus and deliver stories. Steve
Buttry uses this handout in his workshops.
- Polishing
your writing skills Steve
Buttry uses this handout in workshops for non-journalists.
Users could adapt it as needed for journalists.
