Now’s your chance to go behind the scenes of iconic images — and the historic events underway today — with an all-access pass to the work of The Associated Press. 
 
For our friends in Tampa Bay, join Poynter on Tuesday evening, Oct. 11, at the Straz Center for an immersive event with AP Executive Editor Julie Pace, who will take you inside one of the world’s largest newsrooms. We'll also talk with Pace about preparing for elections, the AP's sweeping climate initiative and managing reporters on the ground in Ukraine.

Poynter’s yearlong Table Stakes program brings together cross-functional leadership teams from eight to 10 diverse news organizations to provide a pathway, based on the seven Tables Stakes, for transforming your news organization into an audience-focused, digital-first, market-leading, sustainable enterprise.

Poynter’s team of experts — led by Quentin Hope and Kate Myers — specialize in transforming small to medium-sized news organizations, with a focus on family-owned, Black-owned or independent newspapers and public media organizations.

🤩 The AP announced eight key leadership positions last week, including the US News leadership team and a new director of global text. Everyone who got promoted graduated from Poynter leadership programs! Congrats to leadership academy alums Kim Johnson, Ravi Nessman and Stephanie Mullen; AP leadership workshop grads Frank Baker and Chris Grygiel; women’s leadership academy alum Christina Paciolla; Essential Skills for New Managers grad Sarah Rafi; and Power Up workshop grad Lisa Matthews. 

🎉 Yay for Moni Basu! The Poynter-Koch Media and Journalism Fellowship instructor was named director of the Master in Fine Arts in Narrative Nonfiction program at the University of Georgia.
