Keeping up with the journos

Part of Poynter's behind-the-scenes alchemy is our deep desire to keep one finger on the pulse of the industry while another one points the way toward the future.
We feel like the magic happens when we suss out the cutting edge of journalism, and deliver it to you in the form of events, training and excellent penmanship.
Case in point: Kelly McBride's recent interview with 2023 Pulitzer Prize winners Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa ([link removed]) , where Roberts told her, "To demystify systemic racism is so much bigger than winning a Pulitzer Prize."
On Friday, a crowd of hundreds welcomed ([link removed]) Tampa Bay meteorologist Denis Phillips to a Poynter-organized event, which involved a panel of climate communicators and included a photojournalist from the Tampa Bay Times who helped create an interactive tool for residents to evaluate their flood risk.
Of course, one of the biggest recent issues in the news was the expiration of Title 42 ([link removed]) , which impacts the way migrants cross the border and which had journalists on high alert. Curious parties can register for Beat Academy ahead of our June session on immigration, or enroll in the free Poynter course Understand U.S. Immigration From the Border to the Heartland ([link removed]) .
Scroll down to read more ways in which Poynter aims to train, enlighten and bring value to the lives of journalists. We hope you'll join us in the journey forward.

Lead with Influence
Online group seminar, July 10-31
Take the lead, even if you don’t directly manage people. This hands-on Poynter program helps informal leaders build strategic relationships, communicate across silos and get big projects done.
Over four Mondays in July, you will learn project management tools to streamline your work and frameworks to navigate relationships. You’ll role play difficult conversations, like negotiating a raise or giving a teammate constructive feedback. You’ll participate in weekly leadership challenges, applying the program lessons to your day-to-day work.
Lead With Influence originated as a sister program to Poynter’s Leadership Academy for Women in Media, but due to industry-wide demand, we’re opening this edition to all gender identities. Apply as soon as you know you want to participate. The deadline is June 2.
Cost: $600.

Executive Leadership Summit
Online program, Oct. 18-20
Poynter’s 2023 Executive Leadership Summit will provide the space, tools and connections to help you prioritize your vision and values as a leader. This is your chance to surround yourself with a small cohort of other executive leaders who are experiencing the same media leadership challenges you are — and discover solutions together. Poynter faculty Sitara Nieves and Cheryl Carpenter will help you reflect, reset and focus on your priorities.
Participants will convene online Oct. 18-20, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern. Each session will kick off with a keynote speaker, followed by an exploration of leadership topics, guided group discussions, self-assessment activities and purposeful breaks. Up to a month after the program concludes, you’ll have the opportunity to schedule a one-hour personalized coaching session with an executive coach to continue to focus on your leadership.
Apply as soon as possible. Acceptance is rolling and space is limited. The final deadline to apply is Monday, Aug. 14.

How to Improve Your Coverage of LGBTQ+ Communities
Online resources
As the Trans Legislation Tracker and the ACLU note, the United States is experiencing a surge in anti-trans legislation in 2023. Journalists can tell nuanced, informed stories about transgender and gender non-conforming people using resources from Poynter.
Thanks to a grant from the Gill Foundation, our Poynter newsroom is covering LGBTQ+ issues, like "Trans and gender-fluid kids are under attack. How can we tell their stories without furthering harm?" ([link removed]) by Nora Neus. We also recommend Trans in Sport, ([link removed]) a recent webinar designed to help journalists thoughtfully, accurately and ethically report stories about gender and sports on the local level.
Cost: Free.
