E-Learning
Poynter’s e-learning project, News University www.newsu.org, works with individual organizations to develop custom Online Group Seminars and Webinars, focusing on specific training needs. The Poynter NewsU Certificate of Proficiency Program is designed to help editors, publishers and educators assess a participant’s understanding of the journalism industry’s essential skills and best practices. The program stretches training dollars and allows staffers and students to work as they have time, rather than on a set schedule, and utilizes some of NewsU’s self-directed courses. If you are interested in customized online training or certificates for your organization, please contact Vicki Krueger, vkrueger@poynter.org, or call 727-821-9494.
