Ethics are a foundational part of any Poynter training, and we often dedicate a full session of our longer programs to ethical decision-making.

However, ethics aren’t just about individual decisions. It’s about creating an infrastructure within your news organization for healthy ethical decision-making. Explore the dozens of factors – both concrete policies and soft qualities — that contribute to this environment in our newest online group seminar called Building an Ethical Newsroom ([link removed]) .

Anyone with influence over standards, policies and decision-making should enroll. You’ll grapple with newsroom pressure points including personal activism by journalists, conflicts created by sponsors and social media policies. The entire session will be led by Poynter senior vice president and ethics chair, Kelly McBride.

Ethics are everyday. Make sure every day lines up with your values.
