Poynter AI Leadership

Shaping the Future of AI in News and Media

The Poynter Institute is a leading voice helping journalists, creators and the public navigate the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence. Through newsroom training, AI ethics guidance, original research and digital media literacy, Poynter equips newsrooms and the public to use AI responsibly and transparently while strengthening public trust. 

From AI ethics to media literacy, we ensure innovation strengthens credibility, transparency and trust.

“Every newsroom and creator is going to use AI — if they’re not already. The question is whether they do it in a way that earns trust or erodes it. At Poynter, we’re developing the frameworks, training and literacy programs that help journalists and the public decode a new information ecosystem together.” — Alex Mahadevan, Director of MediaWise, Poynter faculty member and head of the AI Innovation Lab at Poynter
