Other lessons I've created and presented were to explain the basics of certain photo related things to the staff as a whole. I found it particualry important to make these lessons engaging for the audience, because staffers might much more quickly loose interest and stop paying attention to something they don't think is relevant to them. In this slideshow I used a humorous example to help staffers practice the caption concepts I had just explained to them. Additionally I always tried to stress in these slideshows that the content was relevnt to everyone on staff, not just photgraphers.      

Team building activities have been crucial for both my photo sections. Besides the obvious fun, I've found that doing things not for the sake of any deadline, but just to get to know one another and bond, facilitates greater growth both as an editor and for my staffers, and it helps ensure that they feel comfortable coming to me with issues and problems that they might have just tried to deal with themselves instead.  

A major recent example of leadership on the publications was cordinating the coverage of the Prism Concert, hosted by our schools Music Department. The concert was almsot two hours long at the large off-campus Kravis performing arts center. For the show several phtographers had to be selected from both publications, and our finite supply of camera bodies and lens had to be distributed. Once we arrived at the event, I also had to organize which photographers would be stationed where in the theatere and backstage to ensure even distribution and coverage.
