There is no one-size-fits-all solution but this\u00a0learning experience that will resonate with student media organizations of all sizes. We will\u00a0focus on the philosophy of change and how anyone\u00a0can affect that change \u2014 regardless of your situation, status or experience.<\/p>\n

The workshop will be broken down into three main components:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Lecture: A focus on five steps to affect change in an organization: research, planning, strategy, execution and evaluation.<\/li>\n
  2. One-on-ones: Each workshop participant will be assigned an experienced mentor to continue crafting a plan to take back to their respective organization<\/li>\n
  3. Follow-up: The workshop will not stop at the close of the convention. There will be online\/social resources for the participants to continue to interact with one another giving support and advice as they begin implementing action plans<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u201cI think this is a fresh take on how to tackle some of the major issues facing college media in a much different holistic way. We will be focusing on the framework and infrastructure of the organization \u2014 not just the skills used to run the newsroom \u2014 which sets this workshop apart from what’s been traditionally done at past conventions,\u201d said Weaver, who has nearly 20 years of experience working with student publications in Oregon and Iowa.<\/p>\n

    \u201cOur goal is to train the advisers and future leaders of the organizations to keep thinking and planning and changing perpetually to meet the needs of the organization well into the future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

    Chuck Clark brings nearly 30 years of journalistic experience to the workshop, where he will present examples of student media practices that have worked in the effort to remain relevant \u2013 and those that haven\u2019t. He will also give tips on adapting to change \u2014 an asset that will translate into future success in the job market.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe bottom line is that learning how to adapt and change is going to keep your student publication healthy, which in turn will make you even that much more marketable when you go out looking for a job,\u201d Clark said.<\/p>\n

    The Feb. 19 workshop runs from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The fee for the workshop is $40, in addition to convention registration. Convention attendees who take part in this intensive training will not attend regular sessions on Friday.<\/p>\n
