How to Prepare for the New Revolution of School District Communications Department

Is your school district adapting to the changing world of school communications? Does you department need to restructure to deal with this new revolution?

As school district communications changes to a more marketing and content delivery role... is it too far out of left field to say a school district will buy a local newspaper in the next 20 years? 

Over the past three years there has been a resurgence of the journalism occupation. Not necessarily in the form of a traditional newspaper, but the need for people who can tell your story has become very important. With the increasing popularity of blogs and content marketing, we will need these storytellers more than ever. And we need someone who can do it at the local level. 

Things will change. We will adapt. And in 20 years there will be a school district that purchases a local newspaper.

What better way to fill the jobs above by tapping into the experts who are trained in storytelling and know your local audience?
