We’re hitting the pause button on this monthly newsletter for the remainder of 2020 so we can focus on bringing you a number of exciting opportunities to engage with Poynter in a healthy dialogue about truth, trust, journalism and American democracy.
Join us on Oct. 20 at 6 p.m. Eastern for an online community conversation with NBC News political director and host of “Meet the Press,” Chuck Todd. During this 45-minute event, you’ll enjoy a lively conversation between Todd and Poynter’s Tom Jones about some of the new challenges that journalists who cover politics are facing, what election-watchers can expect from coverage on Election Day and a behind-the-scenes look at America's No. 1-rated Sunday morning political news program.
In November, we invite you to be a part of a special online gala to celebrate the incredible work Poynter accomplished in 2020 that was made possible by YOU. We’ll be joined by Chris Wallace, the award-winning broadcast journalist, best-selling author and anchor of “Fox News Sunday.” Wallace will receive the Poynter Medal for Lifetime Achievement in Journalism while sharing with you many of the highlights in his career. Please add your name
