A road map for public media
Applications close this week ([link removed]) for Poynter's pioneering Digital Transformation Program, funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
The training, offered free to public media journalists and their stations, builds on the success of the first transformation program, which trained hundreds of leaders and station personnel and led to millions in new digital revenue and users/subscribers.
“This program provides transformation on multiple dimensions,” said program co-lead Quentin Hope. “We offer a tested framework for station teams to make real gains, which is the basis of the design of the program.”
Stations and personnel who already participated in the first DTP or a similar program will be able to apply for the Advanced track, which will begin recruiting in January 2025.
Read more ([link removed]) about the program's two tracks and application process ([link removed]) , but hurry! Applications close this Friday.

It acknowledges the difficult, ongoing demands placed on the news industry, but challenges the narrative that everything about the news industry is bad. It does so by highlighting examples where news industry ingenuity, hope and creativity shine.
