WRITING AND EDITING.

TEAM WORK IS KEY TO THE EFFECTIVE PERFOMANCE OF A NEWSROOM.

1. It promotes a healthy competition among the newsroom employees- when newsroom

employees learn from each other within a certain period of time they will start competing with
each in order to seek a promotion or to prove they can do the work better tan the others. E.g. a
university student who is new to the field can learn from a person who has been working in the
company for ten years and still do better than him.
2. Improves relations among the employees- when employees learn from each other and work
together they tend to succeed as a team. Employees who trust each other are able to
communicate effectively, support and encourage each other, work cooperatively.
3. Creates innovation and invention – when employees work together and a task becomes hard to
tackle they find indigenous solutions on how to tackle the problem this leads to invention and
innovation of new ideas.
4. Leads to efficient work- when employees work together they are able to simplify hard tasks and
work together hence leading to the task being done a lot faster. Teamwork leads to better
productivity, greater profits etc.
5. Saves on time – similar to the 4th point is that when there a lot of people doing work together
and effectively they simplify tasks hence saving on time compared to one person who is likely to
take more time to complete the task.
6. Teams self-monitor- when a person does a task a lone it tends to be more boring and hence
he/she starts becoming more ineffective but when they are working as team, team mates
observe and depend on the quality of each other’s work hence will motivate each other.
