| High-quality training for public media leaders — and it's on us |
Applications are now open for the second cohort of the Editorial Integrity and Leadership Initiative.
This nine-month fellowship, funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and administered by Poynter, will train a total of 50 fellows to accelerate their ability to uphold journalism’s highest editorial standards, lead through change, foster innovation, create an audience-focused strategy and cultivate thriving news organizations.
“(This training) has given me the tools to be a better leader,” said Vicki Adame, managing editor at KUNR Public Radio and a member of the first 24-person cohort that began in 2023. “It has helped me see the areas where I can work better with my team — especially when it comes to equitable workloads. But most of all, it has helped me open better lines of communications with my reporters.”
This dynamic program for leadership-minded public media journalists is now open to a second cohort of fellows from U.S.-based newsrooms. There is no cost to the fellow or their employers, thanks to funding from CPB.
Applications for this unique opportunity close April 22. Read on to learn more about this and other Poynter trainings. |
