Lead with Influence (June 2024) |
Virtual course, June 3-24
Specifically designed for women and nonbinary journalists, this is the second of our three virtual leadership trainings for those who want to flex their organizational muscle, but who have no direct reports — leaders who manage big responsibilities like processes, products or platforms.
Demonstrating leadership without formal authority is its own skill, and it’s core to this online leadership workshop from Poynter directed by Poynter adjunct Kathy Lu. She'll be joined by thought leaders and experts who will also serve as instructors throughout the program.
Hurry! The application deadline has been extended to Monday, May 13.
Cost: $600. |

Award-winning investigative journalist Alexandra Zayas will break down the process to help you think about what kinds of stories to choose, how to build a bulletproof case and how to maximize the chance your work will create change.
Cost: $499. |
| Reporting on the Rise of AI |
In-person workshop, June 28
This free, one-day workshop will give Washington, D.C.,-area journalists a chance to connect with RAND’s top AI experts in sessions that examine AI and social bias, the workforce, misinformation, and the industry interests that will shape government regulation.
Attendees at this workshop will get a clearer picture of the arenas in which AI poses the greatest risk of social bias, be able to better identify the jobs and types of tasks that could be upended by AI, understand options for government regulation and how those intersect with the interests of private firms, and have a better grasp of the counter measures against foreign misinformation actors and the scope of their activities.
Cost: Free. |

| Shut out by powerful people? Here's what journalists can do. |
Journalists are increasingly being shut out of their efforts to cover public business and hold officials accountable.
That's why Poynter convened a group of experts to engage in a discussion about this phenomenon and provide insights into what journalists can do about it.
Their key takeaways were released this week in “Shut Out: Strategies for good journalism when sources dismiss the press,” which makes the case that growing adversity from public officials toward journalists is damaging not just to the journalism industry, but detrimental to the public trust. |
