As Poynter celebrates its 35th anniversary in November, we will be launching a new Media News site, along with select microsites under the Poynter.org umbrella to better communicate how the Institute serves journalism.
At the very top of the prototype we invite you to preview, you'll see parent-level navigation that, once functional, will direct users to places where they can learn more about:
(You'll see the same type of navigation in the prototype's footer.) The microsites referenced in the parent-level navigation are still under development and will launch at the same time as the Media News site in a few months.
The new Media News microsite prototype has been structured to leverage Poynter's unique strengths and to respond to consistent user feedback (less clutter, more focus, keep helping us solve problems). The new Media News site will make it easier to understand how journalism is changing, with the latest news and analysis from Romenesko, Al's Morning Meeting, Mobile Media, our business writers; and easier to learn the skills you need to shape journalism's future.
For two weeks in May, Poynter will open its doors to 40 college journalists or recent graduates who are ready to hit the ground running as they enter their first professional newsrooms.We're looking for those journalists now. It's time to apply.
Young journalists have always been a top priority for Poynter. For more than 30 years, the Poynter Fellows have gone on to pioneer new methods of storytelling, lead newsrooms and even win Pulitzers. They have become passionate practitioners of every craft: reporting and writing, design, photojournalism, graphics and all forms of multimedia.
