It’s #GivingTuesday: A Chance to Partner with Poynter.
Poynter is your partner in the fight for democracy. You can rely on our thought leadership to support your search for the truth and guide your way. Poynter strives to be a beacon of hope in these ever-changing times.
This newsletter showcases programming we've offered over the last several months that demonstrates our commitment to democracy and fact-based expression. We’ve hosted seminars for media leaders, honored journalism luminaries Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, and helped seniors discern fact from fiction in an interactive program with AARP.
Just as you turn to Poynter, today we turn to you. Giving Tuesday celebrates donating in support of nonprofit organizations within each of our communities. Today we invite you to continue your partnership with Poynter in celebration of journalism and its integral role in democracy.
As you dive into this newsletter, you’ll see Poynter’s commitment to making a difference for journalists and citizens. Will you make a gift supporting Poynter’s mission? Every donation makes a difference.
We will keep shining the light for you. Thank you for your generosity.

Poynter honors the historic careers of Woodward and Bernstein

A crowd of more than 500 guests gathered in Tampa on Nov. 12 to celebrate the legendary careers of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein at the Poynter Institute’s Bowtie Ball. During the evening, the guests enjoyed the robust interviews of both honorees — one via video, one in person — by Poynter President Neil Brown. The insightful conversations provided a glimpse into these journalists’ successful careers and their impact not just during Watergate, but throughout the next 50 years.
Additionally, students from Poynter’s Campus Correspondents ([link removed]) program created an on-site video to highlight the importance of journalism in the words of the attendees, which was shared during the program.
The Bowtie Ball is Poynter’s annual fundraising gala, which directly supports our mission. This year, we received a significant outpouring of support, so in appreciation to the many sponsors, donors and attendees whose gifts made this evening a tremendous success, we thank you!
If you weren’t able to attend the Bowtie Ball in person, it’s not too late to honor journalists fighting for democracy everywhere. We invite you to make your Gift From The Heart.

PolitiFact managing editor Katie Sanders led a session summarizing potential election issues. The luncheon allowed guests to spend time with Poynter faculty and AARP leadership. The program was presented by Poynter, MediaWise and AARP Florida, with support from Meta. Sessions were recorded to share with residents in other communities.

Poynter is proud to offer leadership programs that are innovative, inspiring and transformative. In October, Poynter hosted the Leadership Academy for Diversity in Media ([link removed]) program. The cohort represented newsrooms from the U.S. and abroad, including Spanish-language outlets, public media, nonprofit and digital newsrooms, local newspapers, and startups. Session topics included leading authentically, caring for your team, and recruiting and retaining talent. In September, Poynter hosted the Leadership Academy for Women in Media ([link removed]) . Poynter often receives more requests for scholarship funding for our seminars than what we can provide. If you’d like to help defray the tuition costs for a journalist, we invite you to consider making a contribution to support
scholarships.

She spoke about her team’s coverage of the war in Ukraine, her tenure as a reporter at The White House and what the AP does to call elections around the country. The evening was moderated by Poynter’s president, Neil Brown. During the program, Brown highlighted the AP’s most iconic photos. It was a powerful evening, recognizing how local news stories become national and international events.

During a community conversation Sept. 28, Joan Biskupic shared her perspective on what it has been like to cover the Supreme Court of the United States for decades. The conversation, moderated by Neil Brown, included discussions of the leaked draft opinion about abortion and conflicts of interest, including those of justices’ spouses. In addition to serving as a CNN legal analyst, Biskupic is the author of several books about justices past and present, including John Roberts, Sandra Day O’Connor, Antonin Scalia and Sonia Sotomayor. Poynter’s second event, United Facts of America, was live-streamed around the globe and featured discussions from leading voices to provide insight on important issues leading up to the midterm elections. Topics included inflation, climate change, misinformation and more.
