THE EARLY CAREER GUIDE TO NEWSROOM SUCCESS

I’ve had the privilege of working with many early career journalists throughout my career, from hiring entry-level reporters at Fortune to launching fellowship programs at Gannett. In my own experience and in talking with other managers, the most common complaints are not about journalism skills. They are about things like prioritization, time management, professional communication, relationship building, and receiving feedback. 

Managers are more time constrained than ever, and mentoring and coaching can naturally take a back seat. I partnered with the Reynolds Journalism Institute to research and report a guide for entry level journalists to improve their workplace skills, nurture important relationships, and put their best foot forward for coveted assignments and promotions.
