PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

How can newsroom leaders lead in times of urgency, while at the same time training the next generation and growing readers' trust? We'll focus on those questions and many more during the inaugural News Leaders Association Conference, Sept. 9-10 in New Orleans.

At the heart of the conference: leadership and audience engagement/growing digital revenue. You'll go home with takeaways that can be incorporated into your work immediately, as well as new connections and tools to help your newsroom grow.

Our jam-packed programming includes sessions on:

• The Evolution of the Modern Editor

• Leading in Times of Urgency

• Managing the Next Generation

• Being a Strategic Partner with the Community

• News That's Driving Paid Subscribers

• Growing Readers' Trust

• Executing the Big Project — On Time and on Budget

• Preparing Your Audience for the 2020 Election and Census

• The Future of the Opinion Page

• And more!

In addition to our fantastic program, Joy Mayer and Lynn Walsh from Trusting News and the Poynter Institute will be offering a workshop from 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 8, before the NLA conference. The workshop, "How Any Journalist Can Earn Trust," will center on how to stop thinking of distrust in journalism as an unsolvable big-picture problem. This is a great opportunity to learn how to address a very serious concern faced in our industry.

To register for this additional workshop, select it as an option in our conference registration portal or visit ASNE's online store to register for it separately.

Students from Ball State University will be covering our conference! Check out their work here: https://newsleadersnola2019.wordpress.com/
