When you train with Poynter, you not only get to learn from our esteemed faculty, you also get to hear from prominent working journalists testing new ideas and strategies in real-time. I’m particularly excited for the line-up we already have for our 2022 Executive Leadership Summit ([link removed]) for top-level newsroom leaders.
Marc Lacey, the next managing editor of The New York Times along with Carolyn Ryan, will talk about retaining people through change at the Summit. Lacey has worked at the Times for more than 20 years in various leadership roles. As a new managing editor, he will oversee more than 150 pieces of journalism daily and continue to redefine the role of this key newsroom role in a digital world.
Expect more guests to be announced soon. Speakers for the inaugural program in 2021 included Emily Ramshaw, co-founder and CEO of The 19th*, Nicole Carroll, editor-in-chief of USA Today, Krissah Thompson, managing editor for diversity and inclusion at The Washington Post, and Rene Sanchez, now editor of The Times-Picayune.
To learn from the best in the business, turn to Poynter training. We’ve got lots of options for you today!

Executive Leadership Summit
Online summit, Sept. 19-21


Poynter’s 2022 Executive Leadership Summit will provide the space, tools and connections to help you prioritize talent retention and growth. This three-day, online gathering is designed for top-level media leaders who can set the tone and vision for the future of their enterprise.

What did you learn about yourself and your staff over the last two years that should influence your leadership strategy moving forward? How can you readjust your organizational culture to make your newsroom the best possible place to work? How do you make changes that stick during an era of constant upheaval?

Poynter’s leadership experts — Sitara Nieves and Cheryl Carpenter— will facilitate vigorous discussion around these questions, and draw upon Poynter’s vast network of industry leaders to suggest inventive solutions you can start implementing immediately. Guest speakers for the 2022 program include the next managing editor of The New York Times, Marc Lacey.
Cost: $2,000. Applications are rolling, and space is limited to 20 participants. The final deadline is July 15, 2022.
