When times are tough and money is tight, journalism training can often be first to go off the list of newsroom priorities, but this article from Mel Grau at Poynter says that is a mistake.
Your newsroom undoubtedly has skill gaps from the rapidly changing technology and new lines of business or clients. Top talent is not going to wait around forever while there are new and exciting positions out there. Plus, when journalists are trapped in the news cycle, they can feel burned-out and this can be a real issue.
Grau explains the different types of training available to journalists, from online learning to in-person seminars and workshops, so you can have a look at what is right for you and your budget.
