The Advanced Executive Program helps newspaper leaders enhance their perspective on the industry and sharpen their performance as media executives.

AEP is an intense, three-week seminar to help senior newspaper leaders be informed and armed to meet the challenges of supporting their organization's mission and values. It combines the best of the Kellogg School of Management and Medill's School of Journalism to impart practical experience, academic knowledge and research in strategy, leadership, marketing and journalism.

Participants are immersed in a team-building approach to learning with topics that include:

• Leading change in the newspaper
• Innovation strategies
• Managing and measuring for journalistic excellence
• Steps toward building brand
• Mergers and acquisition problems and solutions
• Employee development
• Leading a changing workforce

The AEP program combines practical experience from the Center's work with newspapers around the world with the latest research from the Readership Institute and top business schools in the nation. The Center's roots run deep in executive education for the industry, having started as the Newspaper Management Center in 1989 and continuing our goal to offer quality executive education for newspaper leaders.

Corporate executives, publishers and general managers of newspapers will benefit from networking with old and new colleagues in this team-based learning program.
