We are delighted to announce the third and final cohort selected for our eighth annual Leadership Academy for Women in Media. Congrats to these 33 leaders ([link removed]) !
“We aren’t creating a one-time experience; we’re creating a mastermind group,” said 2022 program director Samantha Ragland. This cohort joins an alumni group of more than 500 women and nonbinary journalists who have changed the face of leadership in media — and who continue to rely on each other.
“Thankfully, I was blessed with meeting some incredible women who have become advisors and friends and co-conspirators,” said Tracie Powell, founder of the Pivot Fund, a member of the first cohort in 2015 and the keynote speaker for the December 2022 academy. “These are not colleagues anymore. There are more than that. They’re sisters.”
Coming off Thanksgiving ([link removed]) in the U.S., we’re feeling extra grateful for all of you who have trained with Poynter, forged meaningful connections through Poynter or have taken inspiration from Poynter to make journalism a more equitable, more ambitious, more trustworthy profession. Thank you.
Here are some additional opportunities for you to grow with us this year:
