Poynter Seeks Journalists for Six-month Fellowship
Public media journalists serving in an editorial leadership role can apply for a six-month fellowship.
Poynter, with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, is offering the Editorial Integrity and Leadership Initiative. This free fellowship seeks to strengthen the participants’ news leadership and ethical decision-making skills.
Participants will receive individual coaching, learn from industry experts, collaborate in small peer groups, and work on a personal project that will benefit their newsroom and their own leadership.
Public media journalists who want to transition into editorial leadership can also apply. Twenty-five public media journalists will be selected for each cohort.
Participants for the first cohort will convene in St. Petersburg, Florida for five days, April 28 to May 2, 2025. Participants for the second cohort will convene in St. Petersburg, Florida in January 2026.
Training will also include participation in 12 virtual sessions.
The deadline is Dec. 6.
