As news of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine spread across the world, misinformation quickly followed.
What are your audiences seeing on social media? Our colleagues at PolitiFact have debunked six internet hoaxes ([link removed]) so far. Here's how you can spot fake videos and photos from the conflict ([link removed]) for yourself — and for your community. And for your friends abroad, signatories of Poynter's International Fact-Checking Network developed a new database ([link removed]) to share debunked disinformation from more than 45 different countries. Follow #UkraineFacts on Twitter for more.

Building an Ethical Newsroom

Online group seminar, March 8-24

This live online seminar — which starts one week from today — will help journalism leaders navigate their newsroom’s ethical pressure points.

Poynter’s senior vice president and ethics chair Kelly McBride ([link removed]) 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. If you would like to request a scholarship, please complete this short form ([link removed]) .

Online group seminar, April 4-13

With help from Team PolitiFact, you will learn how to track and debunk election-related disinformation that could fuel violence on the local level. You will gain a deeper understanding of First and Second Amendment protections to strengthen your reporting about activities that are prohibited by law.
