I have found myself consistently reaching into the toolkit (that the training) has equipped me with, as the challenges of leading an organization have gotten mind-bogglingly complex.

Participant in training for public media newsroom leaders

I found the sessions with Cronkite’s excellent journalism professors to be particularly valuable. As a mid-career reporter, it was helpful to receive advice from these professors that I can apply to my everyday work.
