It is an ongoing process that evolves once the fundamentals are in place and everyone understands the general course. Don't accept the problems that come with change as mandates that can't be fixed. Communication is what makes the process of change work. Communication should be what journalists do best. Use your job skills to understand what is happening and to have an impact on making it work the best it can.
Journalism is built on fundamental principles.
Employees have an obligation to speak out if they feel the change process is threatening those fundamental principles. This goes back to communication. Remember, a process that causes us to revisit our core beliefs and re-evaluate them if necessary is invariably a good thing for the employees and the company. During the change process, managers need to be told how the process is affecting employees so unnecessary problems can be avoided or addressed. This may need to happen more than once, so stick with it.
