How Poynter is supporting local journalists and newsrooms during the coronavirus crisis

The coronavirus is a story unlike any in a generation. It’s a global issue playing out differently in every community on the planet. No single place or person can bear the responsibility of documenting it, nor is any organization immune from its devastating economic toll.
The rapid pace of information — and disinformation — calls for a clearinghouse of smart journalism and creative solutions. Poynter, with its industry standing, its underpinning as an independent broker and its commitment to craft and ethical decision-making, has become a hub for newsrooms and nonprofits to share their energy, their power, their ideas.
With support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and others, Poynter aims to provide a full spectrum of resources that journalists — particularly those serving local communities — need to cover and confront all aspects of the pandemic.
