Being Inspired Was Worth The Trade Off

OCNA MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

By Gordon Cameron Group Managing Editor, Hamilton Community News It couldn’t have come at a worse time. It was scheduled for the day before our production deadline on a week I was filling in for a vacationing editor. I tried my best to find someone else to do it, but no luck. It was either me or no one. However, doing it meant that I would be up to the wee hours of the morning getting things ready for Tuesday. So it was with a heavy sigh that I boarded the train to Toronto to represent the Ontario Community Newspapers Association at our annual Junior Citizen of the Year Awards. My lack of enthusiasm was tempered by the fact that I truly love this event. The association, along with our sponsor TD, brings together some of the best young people from across Ontario to celebrate their accomplishments. And no sooner had I sat down to lunch had all outside concerns completely evaporated. I was privileged to sit with two Junior Citizens and their families: Sharon Lim from Oakville, and Hira Waheed from Hannon. The joy and excitement on their faces was palpable. They were rightly proud of their accomplishments, and what accomplishments they are. Sharon is a volunteer tutor who works for Habitat for Humanity and is planning a Children’s Farmers Market as a place for kids to sell their art to support the local Children’s Aid Society (all while maintaining a 98 per cent average in school). Hira, a Bishop Ryan student, has done tonnes of volunteering with Celtic Circle Student Leadership Club and was a key organizer of the school’s Girl’s Night In, where female students could share their experiences in a relaxed, social environment. Hira also is trained in the Safe Talk program and speaks to Grade 9 students on mental health. Nothing seems to slow this dynamo down. I also had a great chat with Blaise Barber from St. Thomas More about his passion for becoming a Special Education teacher and his future going to Mac to study history and play football. And those are only three of the 13 recipients! As it does every year, hearing their stories tugged a bit at my heartstrings, but mostly reminded me just how wonderful the youth of today really are. It reminded me of just how giving they are of their time to make their communities a better place. As I wrote this column on the train ride home, I thought about all the hours that the recipients put into their various projects, all the weekends and evenings where they tried to juggle schoolwork and family while trying to do extraordinary things. I’ve got to say that it made me feel a little selfish about wanting to trade a chance to meet and help honour these exceptional individuals for an earlier bedtime. March 2017

What You Need To Know To Build A Website From Scratch By Kevin Slimp

Two weeks ago, I found myself awake at 3 a.m., unable to get back to sleep. After tossing and turning for more than an hour, I decided I might as well get some work done. Checking my messages and social media, I quickly found I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t sleep. Shelly, a publisher friend in Minnesota had been up for hours. I soon learned why. “Ugh! My new website crashed yesterday and I’m trying to fix it,” she told me. “I got it through GoDaddy and I’m trying to chat with them, but nobody seems to be answering. What should I do?” Fortunately, I’ve got more websites than . . . well, I’ve got a lot of websites. That means I’ve become a pro at getting to the bottom of problems before they ruin my day or, in this case, night. Rather than attempting to get through to someone using the chat function, which Shelly had already tried, I called the customer support number on the GoDaddy.com website. Guess what . . . someone answered, and they were a big help. Shelly had simply forgotten to ‘publish’ her new site, meaning it worked for a few days while the host waited for someone to click the ‘publish’ button. After the allotted time, the host assumed the site wasn’t meant to go live and took it offline. This is a very common mistake for folks who are new to website design and one I’ve made myself plenty of times. If you’re new to creating websites, there are a few things to keep in mind before you begin. Keep this list handy. You might need it someday.

the site is an ‘online community’, meaning it is a membershipbased site. WordPress had tools and templates created for online communities which we could purchase. On the other hand, when I was designing the NewspaperInstitute.com site earlier this week, I wanted to have total control of the design and functionality. In addition, I didn’t have a lot of time. With one afternoon to get the site up and functioning, I turned to Adobe Muse, an application in the Adobe Creative Cloud suite. Designing a website in Muse is a lot like designing a page in InDesign. websites are made up of groups of pages, much like documents in InDesign. Muse allows me to place a picture, video or menu on the page much like I’d place an element on the page in InDesign. When speed and control are my priorities, I often turn to Muse. If I’m creating a news site, I’ll probably go with a templatebased system like Bondware.com or TownNews.com. These are just two of dozens to choose from. If I’m at a metro paper, I’m looking at robust CMS systems that do everything from take online orders to assembling my site, all while creating the newspaper pages.

1. Will you be creating the site from scratch, or will you use a template-based system to design your website? Let’s add another option while we’re on the subject. Maybe you will use WordPress, which is template-based, but requires a good bit of programming here and there. When I’m designing a new website, the answer varies. When NewspaperAcademy.com was being created (my best friend and I designed and programmed the entire site in one weekend), we used WordPress because March 2017

Collective Initiatives Funding Available For 2017-2018

2. Where will you register your URL? The steps to getting a site online are basically three-fold: • Design the site (see Question 1 above) • Register your URL (website name) • Upload your website files to a host If you want the name of your new website to be KevinIsTheBest.com, you’ll need to find out if anyone else is already using it. Two popular places to register a URL are Network Solutions and GoDaddy. You will find these at NetworkSolutions.com and GoDaddy.com. I’ve learned it’s best to use one company for website registration. By the time you have a dozen or more websites, it can be hard to keep up with all the hosting details, passwords, etc. I’ve used both Network Solutions and Go Daddy and both have worked fine. These days, I use Go Daddy whenever I need to register a new domain.

The Canada Periodical Fund (CPF) has just launched its 2017-2018 Applicant’s Guide for Collective Initiatives. This component provides funding to organizations for projects designed to increase the overall sustainability of the Canadian print magazine, non-daily newspaper and digital periodical industries. You can submit an application at any time until September 15, 2017 or until all funding has been fully committed for the 2017-2018 funding cycle.

3. Who will host your site?

To be eligible for funding, your organization must: • be incorporated as a non-profit organization under the laws of Canada or a province; • have its head office located in Canada; • have been in operation for at least one financial year prior to application; • have a mandate of: • representing and informing members of the periodical industry; • delivering educational or consultative programs to its members and/or other members of the industry; • promoting Canadian print magazines, digital periodicals and/or non-daily newspapers or the services of their creators; or • encouraging and/or recognizing excellence in the content and creation of Canadian print magazines, digital periodicals and non-daily newspapers.

Websites need space on a server. You might have heard a geek say something about ‘parking’ a site. Unless you’re hosting your own site, you will begin by selecting a host to park it for you. Folks who are new at creating websites often use the same company they used to register their domain name. That’s fine, and certainly makes remembering where everything is located easier. Having worked with more than my share of hosts over the years, my current favourite is SiteGround.com. You can have a different favourite. That’s OK. I like using SiteGround.com (no, I don’t receive an endorsement fee) because I’ve always been able to connect with them within seconds whenever there is an issue. That’s worth a lot to me. OK, let’s go over all that again. It’s not as complicated as it sounds, but you will get better with practice. First, design a website, using Adobe Muse, WordPress or some other method. Next, register your domain (website name). Third, find a place (host) to park your website. Once you have those, you simply upload your files (you’ve probably used FTP before) to the host and update them when necessary. Now, that wasn’t so hard, was it? Seriously, I know creating your first website can feel like learning a foreign language. Don’t be fooled. It’s not that complicated. You need a website, a domain and a host. And maybe an I.T. pro, but probably not. Shelly got her site online and it’s working very well. I’ve got confidence in you.

ADVERTISING

Keep ‘Em Talking And Learn More By John Foust Raleigh, NC

Lori told me about some simple techniques she uses in advertising presentations. “Once the other person mentions a problem,” she said, “it’s important to slow down and show some restraint. A lot of sales people are conditioned to pounce on the slightest opening and shift the conversation. They can’t wait to talk about the ways their products can solve the problem. For example, if the prospect says, ‘My advertising is not generating enough raffic on weekends,’ the sales person is tempted to jump in with a suggestion to run more ads on weekends. “That’s a bad move,” she said. “Although that kind of instant-answer approach may seem like good idea at the time, it’s too early to propose a solution to the problem. So instead of expressing an opinion, I encourage the other person to continue talking. That keeps them on their train of thought. The more they talk, the more I learn. And as a result, I might find out that their weekday traffic has been declining along with the weekend business. That would call for a different solution. “To keep them talking, it helps to use a minimum number of words, sometimes just one or two,” she explained. “I’ve learned some techniques from sales seminars and books, but I’ve also picked up ideas by watching good interviewers on television.” Lori knows the importance of looking below the surface. Here are some phrases that work:

not getting enough weekend traffic,” say “You’re not getting enough weekend traffic?” and raise your voice on the last word to emphasize the question. That’s less formal than saying, “That’s an unusual statement. I’d like to know more.”

3. Say “How do you mean?” instead of “What do you mean?”

Although your old grammar teacher would scold you for using ‘how’ in place of ‘what’, ‘how’ is a friendlier way to ask for more information. “What do you mean” can sound abrupt and defensive.

4. Say “Hmm.” “Crazy as it sounds, this is one of the best ways to

keep the momentum going,” Lori said. “Think of all the different things you can express with ‘Hmm.’ With different inflection, you can convey agreement, happiness, surprise, sympathy or sadness. “All of this is intended to help them flesh out problems. As the conversation moves along, you can ask some questions to tighten the focus and help them see the long-term implications of their situation. Then you’ll be in a better position to propose a solution.” Hmm. That’s good.

Say “that’s terrible” or “that’s awful,” when a problem is mentioned. Say “that’s good,” when the news is positive. These simple phrases can help you get in step with the other person. “When you agree with what they’re saying, they usually keep right on talking,” she said. “You’re sympathizing with their bad news and giving them a verbal high five for their good news.”

Annual Performance Reviews Becoming Extinct? A TwoGreySuits Article By Ron Guest, Senior Partner This is no joke, companies are moving away from the annual formal performance review, and the ratings that are usually associated with that process and managers and employees couldn’t be happier! In my career as an HR Manager, Executive and Management Consultant, I have seen many managers who are neither good at doing annual reviews or like the idea of formal annual review. But why have they lived on for so long? It has been the only feedback tool for some managers and it serves as a basis for any pay treatment going forward. The current thinking is the antiquated formal annual review actually works against a culture of regular open and honest constructive, reward and positive feedback. It gives some managers a convenient excuse not to provide ongoing performance feedback during the year. Putting a label or a number on a person’s performance is often degrading, humiliating and demotivating to employees. So, what do we do to provide valuable performance feedback to employees? Ok, let’s back up a minute, why in the first place do we even need to do provide job performance feedback to employees, especially if they are already doing a good job? There are many valid reasons. First, every company has their own unique culture, in terms of how they do business, how they treat suppliers, customers, employees, other stakeholders. In other words, good leaders want things done a certain way which is consistent with business plans and the culture or the ‘how’ things get done in a business. It is the manager’s job to know how things are to be done in terms of quality, efficiency, timeliness, etc. We provide employees feedback in an effort to shape their behaviour to the way the company prefers to conduct their business (this is a way companies can become strategically competitive – by having employees do the same things much better than competitors do). We observe how an employee behaves in certain situations and then provide feedback to help them either continue what they are doing well (positive feedback) or to change how they are doing it, to a better way provided by the manager (constructive feedback). What is currently replacing annual performance reviews is a process of ongoing regular feedback often via informal 1:1 manager/employee meetings. This has several advantages in that we can correct behaviour or reinforce behaviour at the moment it occurs vs. waiting for months to document in a formal review. Additionally, based on my experience, when a company adopts a process of regular 1:1’s with employees, they begin to look forward to it as a means of discussing any things about their jobs in a nonthreatening and safe environment where neither party is trying to ‘assess’ the other. March 2017

Here are other sound reasons why ongoing job performance feedback (not annual reviews) for employees is important in any business, big or small: • • • • • • •

You can manage to goals more closely with timely feedback Employees want to know where they stand Performance shortfalls are identified and corrected much quicker Achievement oriented (potentially top performing employees) want and value constructive feedback Communications are improved with manager and employee There is a stronger basis upon which to determine pay increases You can identify high potential employees much quicker

Employee retention improves as a function of the healthiness of the employee/manager relationship In the People Management section of our Performance Management module in the HR Power Centre, we have a document (Monthly 1:1 Process) outlining how to implement a 1:1 process for any business. Non-members can contact me at rguest@twogreysuits.com for their complimentary copy.

DESIGN

Giving Writers Their Due By Ed Henninger Henninger Consulting

Ernest Hemingway: “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”

I don’t blame them for thinking that way. Most haven’t been told otherwise. They have been allowed to believe that longer stories are better stories. They have been allowed to write lead paragraphs that go on for word after word after word…and yet never seem to get to the point. They’ve not been given any instruction or training in visual thinking. They’ve rarely - if ever - been asked to provide an infobox to accompany a complex story they’ve prepared. They’ve rarely - if ever - been asked to request photos or artwork (not even a head shot of their subject) to go with a profile. Writers become better at their craft when they’re given sound editing and direction. And it’s up to their editors and publishers to see they get that. Otherwise, many writers will continue to feel that it is the mission of their newspaper to let them ‘fulfill’ themselves as writers. To get better writing, better reporting, better editing and better design, we have to train our writers. We need to help them realize that everything we do - writing included - is up for evaluation, and that everything we do is for…the…reader.

W. Somerset Maugham: “There are three rules for writing well. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.” William Zinsser: “Our job is to distill the essence.” Ed Henninger: “News writers need all the help they can get…and most don’t get it.” No, I don’t dare think of putting myself on the same level as Hemingway, Maugham and Zinsser. What I am trying to point out with my quote above is that the state of writing in newspapers is directly proportional to the amount of editing and direction that writers receive. I do not consider myself a friend of writers. Nor do I think of myself as a friend of editors or designers. I have always tried to be a friend - no, actually a champion - of readers. During my entire career in newspapers (now nearing 50 years), I have clung tenaciously to the tenet that the reader must be the focus of everything we do. I still feel that way. I believe, as Zinsser states in his marvelous book, “On Writing Well,” that we are “…in the business of bringing meaning to readers’ lives.” Too many writers, unfortunately, believe we are in the business of writing. Some, in fact, have told me just that.
