    Ziarele independente își elaborează strategii de activitate pe timp de criză

    ​Presa tipărită din Republica Moldova traversează o perioadă foarte complicată, amplificată în ultimii ani de criza pandemică și de invazia militară a Rusiei în Ucraina. Pentru a diminua din consecințe și a reveni la normalitate, aveți nevoie de o abordare strategică a problemelor cu care vă confruntați. Suntem aici să vă ajutăm să elaborați strategii care să vă permită să gestionați afacerile media cu mai multă siguranță. Cu aceste îndemnuri către participanți formatoarele Cristina Lupu din România și Irina Ghelbur din Republica Moldova și-au început prezentările la instruirea „Planificarea și gestionarea strategică a afacerilor media pe timp de criză”, desfășurată de API în zilele de 1-2 februarie 2023.

    Newspaper Managers Face To Face With Crisis Challenges

    At a time when revenues are falling and the sources that used to bring us money are no longer so accessible, we need to think about streamlining our spending. We can save money by giving up large and expensive offices, even cars, if we can manage without them. If we are constrained by the situation, we can reduce staff, but this is a measure we will only resort to in extreme cases, as it will be difficult to bring people back afterwards. At the workshop "How Print Media Face Crisis Challenges," held by API on 29 May 2023, expert Irina Ghelbur, director of Interact Media/Agora, gave suggestions on how to face crisis challenges to editors and publishers from 10 regional and national newspapers.

    Newspaper Editors, Into Home Stretch of Crisis Strategy Development

    You will not be able to solve all the problems you have included in your strategy, focus on the two or three most important ones and solve them; this will help you overcome the crisis and resist in the media market. Explain more clearly what you want to do, and when you have a completed document, work with it, do not leave it to dust in the drawer; it does not help if it sits there no matter how good it is. Editors and managers of independent newspapers received the latest advice on how to improve their business strategies in times of crisis from trainers Cristina Lupu (Romania) and Irina Ghelbur (Republic of Moldova). At API's "Strategic Organization of Newsroom Work in Times of Crisis" Training at the end of last week, participants had the opportunity to ask questions and get answers to a range of newsroom management challenges.
