1. The Challenge/Project and Performance Driven Approach
By building the entire program around real challenges/projects facing the Fellows' respective news enterprises, we seek to help Fellows and their enterprises succeed today instead of just talking about some better tomorrow that never arrives.

2. Tailored Content
The core content of this program is made up of the most pressing challenges facing news organizations. This can vary according to the organization's needs and financial outlook. There is no one model for success. It all depends on the project you want to achieve.

3. Tangible Results
Participants create measurable outcomes throughout the year to reach completion and achieve project success.

4. Accountability
By mandating that your enterprise buys into the process, the program ensures that your organization has a stake in the outcome.

5. Business Advisors
Advisors, selected from top management executives, consultants and advisors, will work with Fellows to implement the initiative and efforts required to achieve success and lead to change.

6. Structured Approach
We provide Fellows with structured task-by-task guidance, drawn directly from decades of experience at leading real change.

7. Long Term Success
The leadership and management skills learned in the Punch Sulzberger Program can be used over and over within the news enterprise so success can be repeated in the future.
