Our information ecosystem is personal and complex and evolving ... and everywhere! Poynter’s senior media writer Tom Jones ([link removed])
helps you make sense of it all. In his daily Poynter Report newsletter, Tom uses his 30+ years of industry experience to take more than 20,000 readers behind-the-scenes of how and why journalism gets made, and whether it was any good. He holds reporters and news organizations accountable for their choices and helps citizens like you understand how those choices impact your everyday lives.

In this conversation hosted exclusively for Poynter donors, Poynter’s Josh Herrington will moderate a conversation with Tom about creating The Poynter Report and what it’s like to critique the media in 2020.

Tom Jones was previously part of the Tampa Bay Times family during three stints over some 30 years, and has also worked for the Tampa Tribune and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. Through his sports columns, including his popular weekly critique of sports on TV and radio called “Two Cents,” Tom has established himself as one of the most respected and accessible columnists in America today. He has a superb knack for blending the expertise gained from his reporting and rich network of sources, with the sensibilities of his audience. The result is work that is smart, easy to read and wonderfully resonant.
