We often hear from our community that lack of diversity in newsrooms is one of the key issues stunting innovation in our industry. In February, ONA launched the Journalism Mentorship Collaborative<\/a>, an open network of more than 100 newsrooms who are deeply committed to diversifying their organizations through mentorship programs. <\/p>\n

The Collaborative is a place for newsrooms to work together to develop a blueprint for effective mentorship programs as a means of recruiting, mentoring, and retaining diverse leaders. Since its launch, we\u2019ve hosted six webinars covering the basics of setting up a mentorship program \u2014 from getting leadership buy-in, to handling difficult conversations, to time management \u2014 and launched a private Slack community for industry leaders invested in mentorship to interact with their peers. We\u2019ve also distributed nearly $70,000 in micro-grants to 16 organizations to support the newsroom mentorship programs run by a cohort of Journalism Mentorship Collaborative fellows. In March, we hosted the fellows in St. Louis for a two-day meeting on best practices for mentorship programs.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re eager to hear how mentorship can help build a more diverse newsroom at your organization, come meet the members of the Collaborative at ONA18 and hear about the fellows\u2019 progress.<\/p>\n

Fellows from the program will join Doug Mitchell, who helms the Collaborative\u2019s six-person leadership team, in the session Making the Case for Making the Time<\/a> to share what they learned from their newsrooms\u2019 mentorship programs Friday, Sept. 14 at 5 p.m. in Grand Ballroom 8. <\/b><\/p>\n

This session is for you if you\u2019re interested in starting or reinvigorating a mentorship program in your newsroom and need strategies to advocate for time and resources \u2014 or simply if you\u2019re committed to diverse leadership in your newsroom and want concrete steps on how you can move the needle forward. We\u2019ll focus on tips for getting management buy-in and enticing potential mentors to commit the time \u2014 one of the largest challenges identified by participating newsrooms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
