I am flying to Bucharest today at the invitation of the World Editors Forum to teach two Master Classes at the Executive Media Management Institute.
I really like the structure of these discussions - 20 minute presentation and 70 minute conversation, that’s a great format for an executive audience and my favorite style of teaching.
See the schedule below:
It’s a tough crowd when all of your students are Editors-in-Chief but I really like working with this class of editors - they are the decision-makers. I am also delighted to join my friends George Brock, International Editor of The Times, UK and Bertrand Pecquerie, the Director of the World Editors Forum in the classroom.
With all of the new newspaper redesigns and the growth in Web video journalism, I am honored to be able to teach on two of my favorite themes.
