Newsrooms come in all shapes and sizes and face different challenges that require tailored managerial strategies. But they also have many common conundrums, like getting to grips with generative AI and developing new revenue streams.

For the past four years, The Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at The City University of New York (CUNY) has run journalism leadership programmes for newsroom leaders from all walks of life.

In this week's podcast, the senior director of leadership programmes, Niketa Patel, reflects on what makes today's successful newsroom leader and the difference between newsroom leaders at larger, legacy media brands and smaller, local and independent companies.

So whatever the size of your newsroom, stay tuned for tips on how to lead with empathy, motivate your team and create a culture geared toward experimentation.
