Poynter.
 
Welcome to 2023. Our events and experience team is off to the races, hosting dozens of senior media executives as part of the Media Transformation Challenge here at Poynter. We’re also actively recruiting for the first Lead With Influence program this year (deadline Jan. 30) and the competitive Leadership Academy for Diversity in Media (deadline Feb. 17). More details on these and other opportunities below.

This year, we hope to learn with you, grow with you, and maybe even work with you. We’re hiring for a variety of positions! A major perk? Poynter closes for a paid, two-week winter break. Maybe that’s why we’re feeling refreshed and ready for what comes next.

Onward!
