Some stories changed the world. Some moments and people shaped journalism itself. In honor of Poynter’s 50th anniversary, we’ve launched The Poynter 50—a look back at 50 consequential media moments and figures from the past five decades and their lasting impact on the future of journalism. From the rise of 24-hour news to the release of «All the President’s Men» to the digital revolution, this project explores transformative moments that redefined our industry. Some reshaped journalism overnight, while others quietly laid foundations for change that would only be recognized years later. Our first entry highlights CNN’s groundbreaking coverage of the Gulf War in 1991. Throughout the year, we’ll share more of these pivotal stories and welcome your reactions and suggestions as we examine not just how we got here, but where we’re headed next. Read on to discover Poynter’s latest training opportunities for journalists. |
