Poynter’s News University commemorated 15 years of online training for students, educators and journalists last year. Back in 2005, we imagined a bright future for e-learning and led the journalism education community online. We never could have imagined how vital virtual learning would become today.

As we plan for Poynter’s future training — how it’s delivered, what it looks like, and of course, what we teach! — my team and I want to hear from you. Will you please fill out this super short survey ([link removed]) ?

I promise, it shouldn’t take longer than a few minutes. You’ll really be helping us out.
Now, onto this week’s upcoming training and events.

— Andrew DeLong, director of teaching operations

This intensive, 10-month program is proven to help local newspapers, public radio stations and digital news organizations make the transition to sustainable digital publishing and build a culture of performance-driven change.
