In-Person Training at Poynter’s Campus in St. Petersburg, Florida

Poynter’s in-person programs in 2020 have been transitioned into online training or postponed until 2021. All training — including dozens of courses from our archives — is now listed under News University.

We look forward to serving you in person, hopefully next year. In the interim, stay safe, be well and we’ll “see” you online.
