WHAT IT TAKES TO LEAD IN TOUGH TIMES
Despite severe and repeated budget cutbacks, widespread layoffs and closings, leaders of America's newsrooms remain largely optimistic that newspapers will find a way to be profitable in the future, an Associated Press Managing Editors survey finds. The challenges keep some of them awake at night and detract from what they'd like to be doing. And the challenges are many, from the lack of money and staff needed to make changes that might help their publications reach new audiences to staffs who need training and themselves can resist change. But newspaper newsrooms also are fertile grounds for innovation, with the editors offering many ideas. And while it may all seem overwhelming, nearly three out of four of newsroom leaders say they remain in the job because they still believe in the mission: journalism.
