DIRECTORATE
The Newsplex Directorate constitutes
an advisory committee of industry representatives who oversee
and support operation of the training and research center.
The Directorate is an essential component of the Newsplex'
organizational infrastructure to help the facility maintain
its strong connection to the news industry worldwide as well
as to extend the facility's influence with organizations
and companies that can benefit the industry's future.
More than that, because of its connection
to the Newsplex and its involvement in guiding the future
of news media convergence, the Directorate wields powerful
influence within the news industry, with other industries'
leaders and with the developers of critical technology. It
is both a sounding board and a bully pulpit.
