NUJ Leadership in the Newsroom training for journalists
This autumn's dates for the free courses for mid-career NUJ journalists, especially underrepresented groups in the industry, to develop their leadership skills.
We are very pleased to announce extra dates of free training for members, following the success of our in-person leadership courses that ran at the start of this year. The courses will run over a number of dates and locations, October-December 2024 and are FREE to NUJ members having been developed with support from the Google News Initiative.
A lack of meaningful progression in newsrooms is something that many members have raised as barriers in their career, and something the NUJ is committed to tackling across the industry. With that in mind we are particularly encouraging participation in these training opportunities from underrepresented groups in journalism.
NUJ Leadership in the Newsroom training for journalists – free training sessions for NUJ members
The Leadership in the Newsroom training programme is suitable for mid-career journalists, both staff and freelances, seeking to develop their leadership attributes to equip them with newsroom management and strategic planning skills.
The programme consists of a one-day in-person session at various locations across the UK and Ireland.
Topics covered include:-
- The ‘Wheels’ of Collaborative Leadership
- Peer mentoring (active listening/support skills)
- The Inner Landscape (or Iceberg) Model (exploring reactivity vs. responsiveness in working relationships, taking into account feelings, needs & values).
The training has been devised with support from the Google News Initiative, and is therefore being made available by the NUJ at no cost to members.
