Any thoughts on how to handle very brief time management skills to folks in the newspaper industry?

Without question there is a way to teach journalists time management in one hour sessions. It's a time management challenge of it's own.
Start with a solid work case that resonates with your audience to dispense with wrangling over everyone's personal example; perhaps before the sessions ask for examples of how they start their day to be submitted in writing and again in advance.
Format the hour long class in ten minute segments giving you six areas to cover and manage the hour like a broadcast news producers do show rundowns. Save the last ten minutes for questions, tell your audience, at the start of the hour, to hold questions until the last ten minutes (you'll will answer most if they pay attention any how) and use a stop watch because journalists believe rules are meant to be broken. Sorry but you will have to be tyrannical.
1. Show how to prioritize tasks with a four number or letter system and to handle tasks by priority with strict times set for each level (the start could exceed ten minutes, so you adjust other modules to maintain time restraints),
2. Explain how to decide which group of tasks require immediate action
3. Show how to determine which can be delayed
4. Then which can be delegated
5. And which, with ruthless authority, can be discarded
6. Ten minutes for questions, answers and close.
Done and good bye, next class.
