The Poynter Institute has initiated The Poynter 50 project to honor its 50th anniversary by exploring pivotal moments and individuals that have influenced journalism. Inspired by ESPN's '30 for 30' documentary series, which celebrated often-overlooked sports moments, The Poynter 50 aims to similarly highlight impactful yet sometimes forgotten figures and events in journalism. The project promises a blend of nostalgic reflection and forward-looking insights, aiming to engage audiences with thought-provoking content that captures the essence of journalism's evolution and its future challenges.
Our series, The Poynter 50, celebrates 50 moments and people who shaped journalism over 50 years, providing both remembrance and insight into the future of the field.
Inspired by ESPN's '30 for 30', our project aims to highlight not only famous figures and events but often overlooked ones that significantly influenced journalism.
As we reflect on journalism's past, this series promises to be thought-provoking, at times fun, and other times somber, encouraging deeper engagement with our history.
By sharing these stories, we hope to celebrate the rich tapestry of journalism while highlighting its evolution and future challenges, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of our craft.
