One of my favorite moments in any Poynter teaching is when conversation about the craft starts flowing. This can be in the palm tree courtyard at Poynter, in the chat during a webinar, or, now in your earbuds as you listen to a podcast.
Lane DeGregory and Maria Carrillo — the writing and editing duo behind some of the Tampa Bay Times’ most compelling, award-winning reporting — are bringing WriteLane ([link removed]) back to Poynter.
The episodes are informal conversations between DeGregory and Carrillo about journalism. According to DeGregory ([link removed]) , some "include guests: award-winning writers, editors, photographers, teachers and judges of journalism contests. Others are deep dives into stories, dissecting how writers got access, chose details, found a voice, and decided on frame and structure."

Covering Jails and Police Reform
Webinar series, Sept. 22-Oct. 20, 2021


Local jails are the gateway to the U.S. justice system, but they are overloaded, overused and under-covered by resource-strapped journalists.

While local jails were intended to house people who were deemed to be a societal danger or flight risk before trial, they have become warehouses — often for people who have not been convicted of a crime and cannot afford to bail themselves out. In many cities, jails are increasingly filled with women, juveniles, immigrants and people who suffer from addictions and mental illness.
In this webinar series, you will learn how to cover local jails that continue to be COVID-19 hot spots. You will prepare for significant legislative and local changes in policing, spurred by both politics and protests. Formerly incarcerated people will give you insight into the effects of journalism on their life after lockup. And Poynter faculty will lead robust discussions around journalism ethics when it comes to how we cover the accused and convicted. The sessions will be practical, inspiring and non-political.
Cost: Free. Tuition is free, thanks to The MacArthur Foundation.

Diversity Across the Curriculum

Online group seminar, Nov. 1-22, 2021

This course — returning this fall by popular demand! — will give journalism educators an opportunity to make a real impact on the future diversity, inclusion and equity efforts of American newsrooms when they model those values in the classroom.

You will learn how to modify your current teaching to include more diverse classroom examples, readings, videos and speakers. You will understand where, how and why to examine materials for diverse voices. You will develop the instinct to audit the makeup of the topics, sources and authors you introduce into your teaching, and how to pivot to ensure diverse voices are represented.

Your lead faculty is Dr. Earnest Perry ([link removed]) , associate dean of graduate studies at the University of Missouri, a researcher, educator and consultant who specializes in issues related to diversity and inclusion. Barbara Allen ([link removed]) , Poynter’s director of college programming, will facilitate.
