APME Leadership Development Workshop

June 24-25, 2003 at The Hamilton Spectator Hamilton, Ont.

Produced by Edward Miller, managing director,
The Newsroom Leadership Group

Hosted by The Hamilton Spectator

Sponsored by the Canadian Association of Newspaper Editors (CANE)

Edward Miller's weekly column "Reflections on Leadership" is familiar to journalists and editors around the world.  Miller, an associate of The Poytner Institute, also leads the popular APME Leadership Development Workshop series at newspaper sites across North America.  

For the first time in 2003, he brought his workshop to Canada and there are plans to have more of these.

The purpose of these day-and-a- half workshops is to provide low-cost, accessible leadership training for teams of editors from participating newspapers.  These tend to be a blend of senior editors (executive editors, managing editors) and front-line editors (section editors, department heads, assigning editors).

Enrollment for leadership seminars is limited to 40 people, ideally in teams of three-to-five editors from each newspaper.  The registration fee of $295 (Cdn) per person covers all course materials as well as lunch on the second day.  Registration fee is payable to the Canadian Association of Newspaper Editors.  For more information, contact Bryan Cantley at 416-923-3567, ext. 230, or bcantley@cna-acj.ca.

• Day One begins early in the afternoon, ending with a pay-your-own way group dinner.
• Day Two begins at 9 a.m. and ends by 4 p.m. to facilitate travel home.

The workshop format will combine faculty presentations and small-group practice sessions. Topics will include:

  • Motivating people
  • Giving good feedback
  • Evaluating and Coaching Staffers
  • Handling Difficult Conversations
  • Managing the boss
  • Reforming the morning news meeting
  • How to run a good meeting
  • Time management

Participants also received a valuable handout entitled ”How to ... a guide to newsroom management.” 

APME Leadership Development Workshops are produced by The Newsroom Leadership Group, a coaching and consulting consortium, in cooperation with regional newspapers. For more information, e-mail Edward Miller at workshops@newsroomleadership.com .
