Big news at Poynter this week: We announced that seventy-five public media stations have been selected to participate in the Digital Transformation Program ([link removed]) .
This is a new virtual program we developed to educate, assist, and coach public media senior leaders and their staff on the best strategies and tactics to transform their organization’s digital operations and culture. The training is funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).

“The selected participants are some of the nation’s most trusted sources citizens turn to for local news and information,” said Poynter president Neil Brown. “Our partnership with CPB will help public media outlets build digital-first strategies that inspire an even greater — and more sustainable — connection to grow with their communities.”
