RTDNA Partners With Poynter For Training

WASHINGTON – The Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) has joined forces with The Poynter Institute, to provide its members with access to Poynter’s most popular journalism training resources. Active members of the Association will enjoy discounts to a wide range of webinars, self-directed courses, online group seminars and in-person training from Poynter’s distinguished faculty, the industry’s brightest minds and most accomplished journalists.

Long established as one of the nation’s premier providers of journalism training for working professionals, Poynter is known for its educational programs, designed to hone the skills of the craft for print, broadcast and the web, as well as providing thought leadership in newsroom management, diversity and ethics.

“Our members have told us that training is a priority, as they look for ways to build their skills and be true leaders in our business,” said Mike Cavender, Executive Director of RTDNA. “We’re excited to expand our relationship with Poynter and provide more opportunities for professional growth.”

“We’re honored to work with RTDNA to provide innovative and engaging journalism training for its members,” said Poynter President Tim Franklin. “This partnership is a testament to value of professional development at a critical time in the media industry.”

RTDNA members can log in to their member portal at the Association’s website, rtdna.org, to learn more about the courses being made available, and how to apply discounts when they register.
