'The Producer Project was a game-changer for me.'
If there's one thing we love at Poynter, it's positively impacting the lives of journalists.
That's why we're excited to offer the The Poynter Producer Project ([link removed]) again in 2024. Many of the graduates of this longstanding training are now news directors, executive producers and network executives.
“The Producer Project ([link removed]) was a game-changer for me. Not only did I learn how to be a better producer, but I gained the confidence and leadership skills to pass some of those lessons to other producers at my station,” said Jesse Cordova of KNWA/Fox24 in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
The program ([link removed]) is designed to help TV and video/visual producers tell stronger stories, produce engaging newscasts and video, make tough calls on deadline and manage the complexities of the industry, including the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on journalism, combating misinformation and fact-checking in an election year. Participants will enhance their news judgment, develop critical-thinking skills and grow their newsroom leadership.
Participants will spend three days in St. Petersburg, Florida, starting June 4, then convene online three more times over three months.The cost for this combo in-person and virtual training is $799.
But hurry! Applications close April 14. ([link removed])

Beat Academy: Economic Realities
Webinar
Thursday, April 4, 1 p.m. Eastern
Writing about the economy isn’t just for national outlets or policy wonks. It impacts every facet of your audience’s lives, and you deserve to have the tools you need to report on it effectively.

In these sessions you will get guidance on several of the key ways to talk about people, jobs, incomes and family budgets. We will also spend time examining data that can look good on paper, but miss what real people experience.
Cost: $75 per individual; $50 for five or more spots.

Your newsroom needs an AI ethics policy. Start here.
Artificial intelligence is out there, and more people are using it than you might think — including in your newsroom — so Poynter assembled a team to create a guide to help you think through how to make sure your team is using it ethically.
This toolkit will give you a statement of journalism values that roots AI experimentation in the principles of accuracy, transparency and audience trust, followed by a set of specific guidelines. This framework can be customized by newsrooms of any size.
