But would it surprise you that newsrooms today look smiliar to newsrooms last year and the year before?  A recent analysis of ASNE newsroom census surveys show little change in the percentage of supervisors and the overall makeup of newsrooms. So, what needs to happen? This presentation by Bill Church of GateHouse Media looks closely at the data, shares insight on effective organizational change, and offers suggestions on how media organizations should move forward.
