** Helping Journalists Meet the Moment
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]

Today's journalists are expected to do a lot.

One day you're preparing for a major election. The next you're navigating difficult interviews with vulnerable sources. At the same time, you're expected to understand audience needs, business realities and the forces shaping the future of your newsroom.

That's why Poynter continues to invest in practical training that helps journalists meet the moment.

With the 2026 midterms quickly approaching, we're offering a free Beat Academy webinar ([link removed]) on July 15 packed with tools for covering candidates, misinformation, voting and the issues that matter most to local communities.

And for those looking to strengthen their reporting on trauma and mental health, don't miss our upcoming webinar on trauma-informed reporting ([link removed]) , part of Poynter's growing collection of resources dedicated to helping journalists cover these critical issues with care and confidence.

We're also launching a new Business of Journalism course ([link removed]) designed to help journalists and newsroom leaders alike better understand strategy, budgets and the decisions that drive modern news organizations.

No matter your beat or role, these upcoming programs can help you strengthen your journalism, expand your expertise and grow your impact.
