Newsroom culture is key for a reporter's development and it all starts with senior leaders and managers - here is how to get the best out of your team
Having a safe and respectful working environment is hugely important to any employee, and management that is proactive in creating this is essential. In journalism it is no different, newsroom culture is key to how reporters develop.
Culture critic Ella Dawson shared some of her best advice after becoming a manager last year in this Twitter thread.
"It's normal for new, inexperienced managers to try to show off how much they know in order to build credibility in the eyes of their team," she wrote.
"This actually can do the opposite: it makes you look arrogant and snobbish. You'll get farther by asking your team what they think."
