Are you worried that you’re not sure whether your cat is laying or lying in the sun? Do you reach for the stylebook to make sure it’s really 10% instead of 10 percent? Does it make you want to cry when someone places commas outside of quotation marks?
Us, too. That’s why Poynter and ACES: The Society for Editing are pleased to announce the launch of the all-new ACES Certificate in Editing. This fully updated certificate is designed to help anyone who wants to develop their editing chops, from writers looking to level up to editors who are new to the job to seasoned veterans who want the latest style and tech trends.
We all need a little help now and then remembering our grammar and style rules, or deciding which words are extraneous. This new certificate offers guidance and support for those of us in the position of having to edit copy with empathy; sussing out if something online is fake or real; and figuring out how to write all the little extra details that often fall to editors (YouTube video descriptions, anyone?).
For just $150 — or $99 if you’re an ACES member — you can learn from industry experts about everything from grammar to working with writers to the latest digital verification tools.

| Leadership Academy for Diversity in Media |
In-person program, St. Petersburg, Florida, Oct. 1-6
With remote and hybrid work, it can be harder to make meaningful connections that enrich your career. Enter: Poynter’s Leadership Academy for Diversity in Media.
Part of the academy's signature experience comes from having honest conversations about the challenges for BIPOC journalists in management roles — with fellow BIPOC journalists and leaders. For many participants, this transparent environment offers what they don’t always get in their daily work: understanding and opportunities to unburden and heal.
The program structure and curriculum also provide participants the connections, confidence and skills to confront their challenges.
Meet incredible people. Build up your community. Change your outlook.
Cost: $500. Apply by Feb. 17. |
| Essential Skills for Rising Newsroom Leaders |
In-person program, St. Petersburg, Florida, April 24-28
It’s time to let Poynter help you jumpstart your management career.
Maybe you’re an inexperienced manager just starting your new role. Or maybe you’ve got a couple years of managerial experience but have had little leadership training. In either case, you could use some tools — along with a big dose of confidence.
This popular in-person seminar will help you build a strong foundation as a leader so your staff can engage and excel. Apply as soon as you’re interested. We always meet capacity for this program and will only offer it once in 2023.
Cost: $1,500. Apply by Feb. 27. |
