Leadership Academy

This workshop prepares student editors to lead their staffs, whether for print or online publications. Participants will develop a sense of news judgment and practice decision-making as they collaborate to write, edit and design story packages. Students will also develop plans for effective staff organization and motivation plus explore legal and ethical issues relevant to student media.
