------------------------------------------------------------
Are you dealing with any of these?
* No strategy to move your newsroom forward.
* A problem figuring out how to use AI responsibly.
* New managers who lack the skills to lead.

You may have attended a Poynter training in the past, but what if the problem you’re facing now feels unique to you or your newsroom?
We’ve officially launched a new suite of services to meet today’s newsroom challenges. Leadership gaps, ethical dilemmas, AI strategy, team burnout — if it’s keeping you up at night, we’re here to solve it.
"Poynter has a wide range of training courses with proven results for journalists and newsrooms. But sometimes people face a problem that needs a tailored solution, like a conflict that keeps your leadership team from working well together, or revamping a newsroom workflow to incorporate AI," said Sitara Nieves, vice president of organizational strategy. "We can help you with that.
"Our team can work with you to solve your specific problems -- whether that's one-on-one coaching for an editor or general manager, or facilitating an offsite with your team to develop a new digital strategy," she said. "Our Consulting & Coaching ([link removed]) service puts the focus on finding the right solution for you and your organization."
Our experts listen to your pain points and offer customized strategies no matter what your organization looks like — from local newsroom to corporate giant. Whether you want to grow leaders ([link removed]) , coach ([link removed]) your colleagues, facilitate a retreat ([link removed]) , strengthen public trust in your company, elevate and fortify your communications ([link removed]) , develop new models for sustainable growth ([link removed]) or innovate ([link removed]) through emerging technologies, Poynter’s Consulting & Coaching ([link removed]) has your back.
For 50 years, Poynter has been journalism’s most trusted source for growth, strategy and standards.
From NPR and The Washington Post to Google and the United Nations, the world’s leading institutions rely on Poynter to navigate change, strengthen teams and uphold truth. Now, we’re ready to help you.
