It’s been a heavy couple of weeks. I hope you’re able to take a break and take care of yourself ([link removed]) . I’m writing this ahead of my own break from work, so I thought I’d offer you a sort of inspirational escape from the daily grind this week: Poynter’s list of the top 25 best journalism movies ([link removed]) .
Poynter senior media writer Tom Jones also includes our 10 favorite fictional journalists, 10 favorite funny journalists and 10 favorite fictional news organizations.
I know you have opinions. Personally, my favorite fictional journalist is Teri Hatcher as Lois Lane on the TV series, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. Reply to this email with your faves!

How Many, Which Ones? The Refugee Crisis and U.S. Immigration Reform (July 2022)
Online group seminar, July 13 at 2 p.m. Eastern
Core to the debate over immigration reform in the U.S. is how to handle refugees, from Ukraine, from Afghanistan, and from countries in Central America. This free webinar will give journalists a more nuanced understanding of immigration in the U.S. in order to analyze current policy, report on reform efforts in a deeply divided Congress and understand the impact of legislation on local communities in the U.S. — not to mention those fleeing violence and persecution abroad.
Cost: Free. Thanks to the support from the Catena Foundation.

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.

Guest speakers for the 2022 program include the next managing editor of The New York Times, Marc Lacey.
