Being a veteran
reporter does not necessarily mean being burned-out and out-of-touch,
at least not in America's newsrooms. In Their Prime by Sharon
L. Peters, a journalist and a specialist in organizational development,
provides valuable information about the attitudes of top-performing
reporters in their 40s and 50s. The insights from these high-performing
reporters promise to be a valuable tool for understanding and motivating
the entire newsroom.
Peters interviewed
20 top-performing reporters aged 40 and older from 18 newspapers,
big and small, in 17 states. Not only does the study show that senior
reporters continue to be highly motivated, but Peters also found
that many newsroom veterans would be eager to guide and mentor younger
journalists if given the opportunity.
In Their
Prime is filled with wisdom and advice from successful senior
reporters and comprehensive analysis of what it is that makes these
reporters so successful.
