When you\u2019re managing a lean and overstretched news organization, it\u2019s hard to fathom granting leave to a valued staffer to pursue a fellowship. But finding a way to make it work could be just what you need to develop and retain top talent. The Knight-Wallace Fellowships for Journalists at the University of Michigan invites you to our ONA Leadership Breakfast to talk with news managers about the value proposition of fellowships.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll update you on how the Knight-Wallace Fellowships work to address the needs of journalism today. In addition to building depth around coverage topics and issues, your reporters, editors and managers can use a fellowship to develop skills in business and management, data and analytics, design and development, engagement and presentation. And they can bring everything they\u2019ve learned back to share with you and their peers. At a time when raises and promotions are hard to grant, training and development are tough to provide and competition for talent is fierce, a fellowship can be a valuable tool in career development. Come find out how to make a Knight-Wallace Fellowship work for you.<\/p>\n
