That's that tough time of the year - perhaps most loathed by yearbook advisers: January. From frustrated (and frustrating) students to seniors ready to graduate to ceaseless demands of deadlines, these weeks in the mid-winter can be the hardest of the year. With this episode, we kick off season three of the podcast and talk with veteran adviser and Journalism Education Association President Sarah Nichols (MJE), adviser of Whitney Student Media in Rocklin, Calif., about how to handle our winter woes, motivate and support our staffs, and take care of ourselves. Too, we get into all the reasons you should be a member of JEA — and trust me, there are plenty!
