The Poynter Institute in Saint Petersburg fulfilled Nelson Poynter’s dream to unite thousands of journalists, teachers, and members of the community to learn what makes good journalism work. As a non-profit organization, they are “free of influences that might interfere with journalism or teaching.”

Their wide selection of programs allows students to explore areas such as reporting and editing, fact-checking, tech and tools, and more.

Its code of ethics is what makes the Institute unique. Their five-core values (accuracy, independence, collaboration, fairness, and transparency) guide their work to communicate information correctly and efficiently.
