Editing, Leadership, and Team Bonding
Editing, Leadership, and Team Bonding are core pieces of journalism and these are extremely necessary for a successful journalist. Editing I am improving on, leadership I have found success, and team bonding has always been easy.
Editing
Editing experience
Editing is a vital form of journalism and I would like to break down further some of my bad examples and some good ones.
Leadership
Leadership
I am a great leader, but like any leader, I have room to grow. My improvement is something I am very open to as a leader.
Team bonding
Team bonding
I am very close with my fellow staff, and I have been able to bond with them socially. But as we grow we need to hold each other accountable to.
Final Thoughts
I was an editor for the ODYSSEY in tenth grade and eleventh grade, both years have been difficult, but I prided myself in improving. Leadership was very important to me, so when allowed to lead I ran with it and got the most I could out of it every year.
When editing my staffer's stories, I had to learn to look beyond the little stuff and analyze the article as a whole first. Another skill that didn't come easily but I have edited every single thing I see. Whether that be a teacher's slideshow or a poster on the wall I edited it.
Team bonding always sounds easier than it actually is. You can't just force a staff to bond it has to develop naturally, and with my staff thats what I did. I made sure to priotize a bond, before a product, because it was important to me my staff and I was connected.
