| Help your newsroom unpack one influential issue of the upcoming election: health care |
Poynter's Beat Academy webinar series turns it sights this month to health care coverage, examining which topics may swing the vote in battleground states.
While reproductive health gets the headlines, issues like insurance coverage and health care costs may prove critical to certain voters.
Join us this Thursday at 1 p.m. Eastern as our partners at KFF and KFF Health News will give us an insider’s look at how health care reporters can find the local angle this election, and they’ll tease out details from survey results to reveal what’s top of mind for voters this election cycle.
For a limited time, new enrollees to Beat Academy can sign up for just $18 using the code 24healthBA18 at checkout. That price gets you access to all eight topics in the Beat Academy suite of training.
Read below for more ways in which Poynter is looking to fortify your newsroom ahead of November. |
| Leadership Academy for Diversity in Media (2024) |
In person at Poynter, Sept. 9-13
The Leadership Academy for Diversity in Media is a transformative leadership program that trains BIPOC journalists to thrive professionally and personally, and was designed to address the persistent lack of racial diversity in U.S. media.
The interactive, week-long academy will focus on critical skills journalists of color need on their paths to leadership in digital journalism and technology. Sessions will explore developing effective management styles, navigating newsroom and digital culture, building collaborative teams and much more.
If you aren't a BIPOC journalist, consider supporting the application of someone you supervise, or suggest the training to a colleague. You can read our FAQ here.
Apply by July 9.
Cost: $649; attendees must also pay their own travel costs. |
