Newsroom Management

Book excerpt: Management is a subject of growing importance to media executives. The expectation that editors be good team players & participate more fully in overall management challenges them to become competent managers without sacrificing their traditional editing roles. The truth is that media executives spend a large share of their time dealing with human behavior. NEWSROOM MANAGEMENT introduces a framework for managing others. It is a useful reference that lays out theories & strategies for resolving the issues that confront executives in every media organization. This book can be an important resource for the executive who seeks a larger understanding of how to manage human behavior. "This is a book no newsroom should be without. The good editor will make it required reading for the next bright reporter promoted to assistant city editor. Even veteran senior editors, who think experience has taught them everything they need to know, will find this book a valuable guide & resource."--Bulletin of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. "The value of NEWSROOM MANAGEMENT to the sensitive & progressive newsroom manager cannot be overestimated."--WASHINGTON JOURNALISM REVIEW.
