At the end of Poynter’s four-week Lead With Influence ([link removed]) program in February, lead instructor Kathy Lu asked participants to share some of their wins with the group. They wrote:
💰 I was able to advocate to get the salary range for my position raised by about 20%, resulting in a big raise for everyone.
📣 We had a big project launch, which was months in the making. I was able to connect with local and international media to share the story and grow readership.
🗓️ I created a Kanban board to manage the workflow on a big migration project, and I feel set up for success!
💡 I drove stakeholders to clarity and helped them make a decision. This was after weeks of emails back and forth.
🌟 The things I’ve learned in this class have left me feeling more motivated and prepared than ever to tackle what’s in store for 2023.
Behind the scenes of impactful newsroom projects, programs and stories, you’ll find the planners and coordinators. They help make big decisions. They ensure excellence and accountability. And they do it all without having any direct reports.
Poynter’s Lead With Influence ([link removed]) program provides those individuals with practical frameworks, tools and ideas to become even more effective in their day-to-day jobs.
But hurry! Applications ([link removed]) for the next iteration of the online program close June 2.

Beat Academy and Understand U.S. Immigration From the Border to the Heartland
Webinar, June 8 and 15; self-directed course, start any time.
Immigration is woven into the fabric of American society. It’s also complex, politically polarized and ever-evolving. That’s where two Poynter trainings should come in handy.
First, we’ve got the latest installment of our Beat Academy webinars — this time on immigration. These two 90-minute sessions will be June 8 and 15, both Thursdays, at 1 p.m.
In this first session, we'll examine immigration patterns, pathways and communities beyond the southern border; demonstrate census and documentation tools you can use to help tell stories in your community; and examine the roles jobs and families play in these stories.
In our second session, we'll provide a snapshot of where immigration proposals stand at the federal level. From the end of Title 42 to the Biden administration's push for adding processing centers throughout Central and South America, we'll fill you in on everything you need to know about the latest legislative ideas and actions.
Additionally, our self-directed online course Understand U.S. Immigration From the Border to the Heartland, ([link removed]) can help journalists feel more grounded, confident and accurate when reporting about this nuanced issue that extends well beyond the southern border.
Beat Academy: $75 for individuals. Bulk discounts available.
Understand U.S. Immigration: Free.
