Breaking news: Poynter has just secured funding to offer 13 of our signature one-hour, virtual Campus Correspondent visits to train your students on the latest in fact-checking philosophies and tools. And it’s free!

If you are a college professor who’d like to host one of our trainers in your classroom for a one-hour session, fill out our interest form ([link removed]) and we’ll reach back out with details.

We have only 13 spots available, and they will go fast.

If you can’t commit to hosting, or your schedule has no breathing room, consider a couple of homework ideas:
* This masterclass on YouTube ([link removed]) , created by the students in our program and encompassing many of the skills we teach in our live sessions
* Our “Is This Legit” ([link removed]) self-directed course, free and fast.
* The newly minted “Getting It Right: Accuracy and Verification in the Digital Age” ([link removed]) ($20), providing you the latest tools to check like a professional editor and fact-checker.

Reading “How to Bring Your Cultural Identity to Work” ([link removed]) made me wonder (yet again) how college newspaper leaders and staffers are working to make space physically and in the news for diverse staffers and sources. Hopefully there’s something in there for your students.

This week I was reminded about The Accountability Project ([link removed]) : “The Accountability Project gives researchers and journalists a powerful, but simple tool to search across data that would otherwise be siloed. Our collection includes more than 1.8 billion public records.”

If you’re following the controversy within and without The New York Times’ reporting on trans kids, you might like to see this NBCU Academy piece: “How Journalists Can Responsibly Report on Trans Kids.” ([link removed])

Kudos to the University of Maryland’s Capital News Service for staying on top of this emerging area — and giving the rest of us something to use in our classes or newsrooms: “Gambling on Campus| As states legalize sports betting, universities weigh risks to students, rewards for athletic department budgets.” ([link removed])


** This week’s Professor’s Press Pass
------------------------------------------------------------

See this week’s ([link removed]) Professor’s Press Pass ([link removed]) , in which students are challenged to consider what’s acceptable behavior on social media.


** Resources for educators
------------------------------------------------------------
* Get access to a growing library of case studies — Professor’s Press Pass ([link removed]) .
* Enroll your students in our Beat Academy ([link removed]) to get them armed with the latest information on the hottest emerging beats in journalism.
* The Poynter/ACES Certificate in Editing ([link removed]) promises to empower your wordsmiths and polish your prose pushers.
* If your students are interested in a career in accountability journalism, they should consider taking this course ([link removed]) from MediaWise’s Campus Correspondents. They can learn the same fact-checking tools and techniques that professionals use in their day-to-day work. Bonus: It’s free.
