Poynter has always taught journalists from around the world, often online and sometimes at our main campus in Florida. This last year was different.
The need for fact-checking and media literacy education brought Poynter to more countries than ever before and energized our global alliances. Here are just two examples:
* In partnership with the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, Poynter's International Fact-Checking Network provided fact-checking training and mentorship to newsrooms in more than 20 countries ([link removed]) in 2021, including Tunisia, Chile, Sri Lanka, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Fiji, Pakistan and Myanmar.
* With support from Meta, Poynter's MediaWise program is helping older adults in Brazil, Spain and Turkey ([link removed]) make informed decisions about the content they engage with and share across social media platforms through customized WhatsApp courses.

Whether you're in Tunisia, Turkey or Tonga, we're proud to work with you to make this world a more fact-fueled place. Check out more training and support opportunities below.

Leadership Academy for Diversity in Media

In-person program, St. Petersburg, Florida, Oct. 9-14

The Leadership Academy for Diversity in Media is a transformative, tuition-free leadership program that trains journalists of color working in digital media to thrive, professionally and personally. In partnership with The Washington Post, the Poynter Institute is looking for the next 30 journalists of color to participate in its sixth academy.
"Every single person I interacted with through the academy, from the instructors to my fellow cohort members, challenged me to change my perception of what I considered limitations," said Charlene Carter, committees editor at CQ Roll Call and 2020 alum. "Armed with new ways to silence my inner critic, I'm now more comfortable exploring new opportunities in the field that I love."
The program structure and curriculum provide participants the connections, confidence and skills to confront their challenges. Sessions are designed fresh each year to respond to industry trends, participant needs and evolving management challenges. Underscoring everything is Poynter’s expertise in leadership training and The Post’s expertise in digital innovation.
Cost: Free. Apply by Saturday, Jan. 15.
Note: The program is limited to people working for U.S.-based media organizations — though they might be living in other countries.
