'As an editor, you have the opportunity to change people's lives and careers.' - Poynter
Briefly

Editors experiencing job satisfaction amidst challenging circumstances have not found easier roles but have instead cultivated effective strategies. Tom Huang emphasizes the importance of recognizing and seizing opportunities rather than following a linear career path. His journey transitioned from a computer science background to journalism after engaging with a campus newspaper, showcasing a passion for writing that ultimately shaped his career. Huang's virtual program aims to equip new editors with essential skills and confidence to excel in their roles and navigate the pressures of editorial work.
