Managing Newsroom Employees

By Sharon L. Peters

Sharon L. Peters tackles five common personnel issues with a mix of research, analysis and problem solving in this practical guide for newsroom managers.

Why internal communication in newsrooms is bad and how to improve it.
How toxic relations develop between supervisors and subordinates, and what to do about them.
How to take corrective actions for both performance and behavior problems.
How to conduct useful, pain-free performance reviews.
How to create star performers through coaching and rewards.

This is not paint-by-the-numbers management advice. Peters applies her 23 years of newsroom experience, along with her extensive research and understanding of organization behavior, to the unique circumstances of newsroom management. In clear, step-by-step language she shows how to get the best out of newspaper newsrooms.
