| '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 again in 2024. Many of the graduates of this longstanding training are now news directors, executive producers and network executives.
“The Producer Project 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 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.

| 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 our next Beat Academy session, we’ll focus on how to build trust with skeptical audiences, offer ideas on compelling storytelling, and suggest sources and data to keep you on target.
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. |
