I am looking for guidance on how to handle a situation with a recent journalism graduate.
For some background, I'm in my first year as a news editor and have been a sports editor come four years in June. Altogether, I've been in the field for five years now.
I hired a reporter fresh out of college in May for our small (roughly 2,000-paper circulation) newspaper. As she approaches one year, the relationship with her in the newsroom has been a roller coaster.
Since she joined, she likes to throw at me and another reporter (who did not study journalism but has a year of experience in the field) what she learned in school is thethe all of answers, disreguarding our knowledge in the field.
An example would be the AP stylebook. Based on my experience in the field, I feel the stylebook is a guidlineg and newspapers have the right to interpret it anyone it sees fit. She disagrees based on what she learned in school.
How do I got about handling this situation?
