Hi ,
As a friend of Poynter, you understand how essential journalists are to our everyday lives.
Whether they stood in Ukraine, at the gas pump, on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court, in Uvalde, in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, or on the floor of a midterm debate, journalists have been reporting on the ground to bear witness to the stories that shape our future, bringing communities information, context and clarity on the matters that make life complicated.
You’re invited to celebrate the ways Poynter supports journalism and its undeniable value to our democracy on Saturday, Nov. 12, at our annual Bowtie Ball in Tampa, Florida.

Hurry, tickets are going fast.
Join us at the Tampa Marriott Water Street to toast the First Amendment, celebrate the impact of local news, and honor the careers of the 2022 recipients of the Poynter Medal for Lifetime Achievement in Journalism — Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein — whose dogged reporting of Watergate changed the course of American history and fortified journalism’s role in a free society 50 years ago. Bernstein will attend to accept the honor.
Come be immersed in the legacy of this historic investigation through a lively program of powerful storytelling — with award-winning reports from then and now — and an exclusive on-stage interview with Bernstein led by Poynter President Neil Brown.
