Poynter is one place to go for professional revitalization, of course, and there are others.
If you're the one asking for money to help you re-skill or re-energize at your current job, here are some useful tips for getting your boss's buy-in ([link removed]) .

Building an Ethical Newsroom
Online program, March 8-24
This live online seminar will help journalism leaders strengthen their ethical infrastructure so they can confidently navigate their newsroom’s natural pressure points.


Poynter’s senior vice president and ethics chair Kelly McBride will be your guide. Using her decades of experience as an ethics coach and public editor, she will reveal the methods she uses to assess a newsroom’s ethical strengths and weaknesses. You will explore the dozens of factors – both concrete policies and soft qualities – that contribute to a healthy environment for making ethical decisions. With McBride’s stewardship, you will diagnose your own individual capacity, and, when possible, the capacity of your news organization.
After the three-week, six-session course, you will have templates for modern ethics policies, communication skills to address ethical conflicts as they arise, and leadership strategies to facilitate a culture of ethics in your newsroom.
Cost: $450. Enroll before March 1.
