The Poynter Institute announced 23 executives selected for the 2025 Public Media Executive Editorial Integrity and Leadership Initiative, a fellowship aimed at enhancing local journalism. Funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the six-month program provides public media leaders with tailored training and resources to strengthen their stations. Poynter and CPB emphasize the importance of local journalism for civic health and democracy, especially as commercial media declines, making the work of public media executives increasingly vital.
"Local journalism is essential to the civic health of our nation, because it provides relevant, fact-based information to respond to the information needs of the communities it serves."
"Local public media is becoming more and more important in every market as commercial media shrinks. These executives are doing work that is critical to democracy."
