One day newsroom management course

Does this conversation sound familiar?

“Congratulations! You are the new Assistant Managing Editor/Business, with 20 business section staff reporting to you. Welcome on board!

“And by the way:
• You must cut 10% of your department budget within two months. We need your proposed cuts by next Friday.
• Performance appraisals for all your staff are due in two weeks. HR will email you a memo on that any day now.
• As you know, the previous Business Editor Joe left the paper so there won’t be an official handover to the new job. The files he left are over there.

“Don’t be late for the Page 1 meeting in 10 minutes.
Good Luck.”
