REYNOLDS JOURNALISM INSTITUTE – 20/04/2020
FRED ANKLAM JR.
The COVID-19 pandemic has newsroom managers facing an extraordinary moment in journalism — our entire profession forced to adjust on the fly to how it goes about its daily work.
Meeting that challenge here at the Columbia Missourian — with an entire newsroom staff working remotely, many in different states — requires clear, effective internal communication. Admittedly, we have a younger, less experienced team (all university students). The steps we have taken can apply to any size newsroom and are worth sharing.
