Hi ,
Remember the time you nailed that interview or got the green light to pursue that passion project? Or the overwhelming sense of pride and excitement that followed when you took one step closer to your professional goals.
Who was the first person you called to share the good news?
When we think about those joyous moments in our lives, we recall the friends, family, teachers and mentors who encouraged us along the way. They’re your support system, your community, your people. |
At Poynter, we’re committed to connecting like-minded media professionals who understand an investment in their own professional path empowers others to grow, raise industry standards and transform newsrooms everywhere.
This year, we celebrated many journalism firsts. |
In our programs and academies, we witnessed women and people of color step past imposter syndrome and into leadership roles to create space for diverse talent.
We saw them practice their training to build resiliency through trauma and untangle burnout and anxiety.
They realized their leadership potential as advocates and negotiators to ensure no other journalist ever feels alone again.
And, best of all, they continue to discover what’s possible in their communities when they collaborate to create more opportunities for emerging leaders.
I invite you to join our growing movement today. Please support our work so that the news you rely on is led by more diverse newsrooms. Together, we can #GetToThePoynt. |
