POYNTER ONLINE NEWSU CAREER CENTER

“And I thought I knew how to tell a good story. Poynter challenged me to always dig deeper. I am constantly striving to implement what I learned.”

On “The Poynter Experience”

After beginning in 1975 with seminars focused on newsroom management, Poynter has since added courses in reporting, writing, and editing, ethics and diversity, journalism education, graphics and design, broadcast, and most recently, online journalism and multimedia. As we've added disciplines, we've kept our approach the same: We focus on making journalism better.

Poynter prides itself on a collaborative style of teaching and learning that helps shape every seminar, every conference, every course, into a "Poynter Experience."

Here’s what you can expect:

• Small seminars, which means you get lots of individual attention
• A hands-on approach, so you participate in discussions, case studies, role-playing, and other exercises to get you involved in learning
• Distinguished professionals and scholars as resident faculty, all master teachers who bring special expertise to every session. Each seminar also includes visiting faculty, accomplished professionals who leave their jobs for a few days to help teach and who spend time with you inside and outside the classroom
• A financially independent, nonprofit organization, beholden to no interest except its own mission: to help journalists do their best work
