1. To meet people A big reason for going to conferences is to meet and meet up with people. Conferences bring together people from all different geographical areas who share a common profession or field, and are a great way to meet new people in your industry. At a conference you will be able to get together with people from a wide range of backgrounds or from a number of organizations, whom you may not encounter at your home institution. As you build your professional network, conferences also become a good place for meeting up with people in your industry that you haven’t seen in a while. 2. For people to meet you It may not seem like a notable thing, but conferences are also a good way for people to meet you. Yes, you. You may meet someone at a meal, or they may stop by your seat at a workshop room, and within a few minutes, you can make a connection with someone that you might not even have met if you hadn’t attended the conference. It’s a good way for people to meet you so you can build up your professional network. 3. To learn new things in your field As you sit in on different workshops

or attend the award ceremonies, you may hear a lot about things in your field that may be new to you. These could be new techniques, new types of equipment and software, data that is yet unpublished, or resources that you may not have heard of. Conferences allow you to get a good sense of what’s going on in your industry that you might not be aware of living in your neck of the woods. You get to hear about the new changes and updates from some of the biggest names in your industry and of some of the newest and most reputable faces in it. In addition, conferences give you the opportunity to talk to these peo-

ple one-on-one about what they are working on, and they may even give you advice. You have the opportunity to ask presenters questions about their work and the rationale behind it, which you can’t do when reading journal articles! 4. To learn new things outside of your field This is a two-fold benefit of going to conferences, since not only may you learn things outside your field and about other areas of operations in your industry, but conferences also have many sessions for professional development and career advice, particularly at large national conferences. Chances are, when you go to a conference the attendees are united by a single broad topic, but they have many different sub-fields of practice and varied projects. Thus you have the opportunity to learn about a different area of your field as a way to develop your own personal pursuit of knowledge and professional growth. Moreover, conferences have many workshops and seminars where you hear from career professionals about new skills, topics, advances and ideas. 5. See the world of your industry from another perspective I think depending on where you are in your career, the motivations change. As you start out, you may be seeking information on current events in your field, potential collaborators or inspiration for your own work. Later in your career, you may be seeking networking, funding and career opportunities. Either way, it is a way to get away from your desk/office and see the world beyond your own organization! So, why go to conferences? I guess a short summary reason would be: for your continued personal and professional development. Take advantage of these opportunities, even if you can only attend one day at a conference. Meet people. Network. Learn new things. Commentary by: Shanique Edwards, Rutgers University.

“There’s No Crying in Newsrooms” What Women Have Learned about What It Takes to Lead Feature Story Kristin Gilger, Associate Dean at ASU alter Cronkite School of Journalism will W be presenting a workshop at this year’s convention. The subject: ‘Women Leaders in News.’ Gilger recently co-authored the book “There’s No Crying in Newsrooms” which tells Authors: the stories of reKristin Grady markable women Gilger, who broke through Julia Wallace barrier after barrier at media organizations around the country over the past four decades. They started out as editorial assistants, fact checkers and news secretaries and ended up running multimillion-dollar news operations that determine a large part of what Americans read, view and think about the world. These women, who were calling in news stories while in labor and parking babies under their desks, never imagined that 40 years later young women entering the news business would face many of the same battles they did — only with far less willingness to put up and shut up. The female pioneers in “There’s No Crying in Newsrooms” have many lessons to teach about what it takes to succeed in media or any other male-dominated organization, and their message is more important now than ever before.

Praise for this book “(This) is an important, readable and timely book about women newsroom leaders at a turning point in American journalism. It vividly describes, from probing interviews, the struggles and triumphs of dozens of leading women journalists. Each chapter ends with engaging, sage advice from the authors, drawing on their own long careers as successful news leaders. A rich portfolio of photos of many of the women helps readers get to know them even better. The book should be essential reading for journalists and for everyone else interested in the journey of American women today.” Leonard Downie Jr., Former executive editor and vice president of The Washington Post) “I’m truly thankful to Kristin and Julia for writing this book. It’s part history, part practical advice, and fueled by the stories women journalists tell when we’re together. It’s important that the discussion about facing obstacles and opportunities for women in journalism be shared more widely. I came away inspired by and grateful to the trailblazing women journalists who have led the way.” Nicole Carroll, Editor-in-chief of USA Today

The stock market for ad ideas Daniel told me about an ad he created for a commercial real estate firm. “They prided themselves on the hard work By John Foust they did for their customers. Their Newspaper marketing manConsultant and ager said ‘shoe Trainer leather’ was their secret of success. When I heard that, I knew it would work in their ads. “I found a stock photo of a shoe with a hole in the sole, then asked our creative department to enlarge the hole to make it more dramatic. The copy described the advertiser’s willingness to wear out their shoes to serve their customers. That photo was a real winner. It became the theme for everything they advertised.” Stock photography can be an important addition to your creative toolbox. Here are some points to keep in mind: 1. Look for an image to illustrate an idea you already have. That is what Daniel did. “I knew I needed a picture of a shoe,” he said. “It was just a matter of finding the right one. A photo worked better than a drawing, because it was a picture of an actual shoe. Sure, we modified it, but the end product was still a real shoe.” 2. Browse through images to find a new idea. Sometimes you’ll have a general concept in mind. You just need a visual image to crystallize the idea. Let’s say you‘re developing a campaign for an investment company that has a long history of helping people navigate the ups and downs of the economy. Their philosophy is, “There’s no need to worry. Your investments are safe with us.” You look through some stock images and find several distinct categories to consider – people, objects, activities and places. They all offer opportunities to use comparisons and hyperbole.

To consider a few generic examples… could a mountain climber represent the company’s expertise in moving onward, regardless of the unpredictable twists and turns of the economy? Could a lighthouse symbolize the firm’s guiding principles in protecting their clients’ retirement accounts? Could a padlock represent their commitment to financial safety? What about the advertising for a home builder? Could a paint brush symbolize their meticulous attention to detail in the homes they build? Could a clock represent the fact that their houses sell quickly, because they are so popular? 3. Don’t hesitate to modify an image. Like Daniel modified the stock photo of the shoe, you can customize an image to fit your specific situation. “The change made the selling point more noticeable,” he said. “I knew the shoe would appear in small ads, as well as large ads – and I didn’t want anyone to miss the point.” 4. Be sure to check the usage agreement. Even if your publishing company has purchased a collection of stock images, do some research before you present an idea to your client. You’ll want to make sure you have the proper permission to use the image how you want – and as many times as you want. Without a doubt, the “stock market” for photographs is a great place to find ideas. © Copyright 2019 by John Foust. All rights reserved.

AJ/GC News lands new location, equal parts bitter and sweet

Jewish Federation appoints Urias to newspaper positions

Trish Hoagland, Apache Junction-Gold Canyon News, COO, writes a personal and sentimental narrative on the transition from the newspaper’s previous location to its new office. “I learned everything I know about the newspaper business in that office. In the last two years, I found out what I was made of and what I am passionate about. I found my breaking point and a greater affection and gratitude for the people I shared the space with as they learned the same things. We created something solid. Leaving is equal parts bitter & sweet.” Their new location is: 879 N. Plaza Drive Bldg. C, Ste. 101 Apache Junction, AZ 85120
