One Size, One Shape Does Not Fit All

Poynter realizes that. That's why we offer you a choice. You can opt for a traditional Poynter experience in one of our core courses, or you can help us explore some new ground in different formats.

Our traditional seminars usually include 16 participants meeting at our St. Petersburg campus for five days. We also offer two- and three-day conferences in St. Pete for groups of 50 to 60, and weekend workshops around the country that serve several hundred journalists at a time.

With nearly 50 learning sessions for professional journalists during 2002, Poynter has a course size and shape for everyone. Here are some special topic seminars in 2002 offered in addition to the core curriculum:

• Reporting on Faith, Religion & Values
• Ethnic Media: Covering Community
• Design/Type/Color for Spanish-Language Newspapers
• Flash Camp

NOTE TO APPLICANTS FROM OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES

Due to current restrictions on student visas, Poynter can be of very limited assistance in helping you obtain travel documents. When applying for a seminar at Poynter, please remember that:
• Early notification is not possible because faculty members choose participants from the full pool of applicants and the selection is not made until 45 - 60 days prior to the start of the seminar.
• Participants are responsible for obtaining their own travel documents and visas.
• Participants are responsible for making and funding their own travel arrangements.
• A tuition waiver is possible, but not always available.
• A fellowship for travel inside the continental United States is also possible, but not always available. Normally, we do not provide fellowships for international travel.
• For help on making travel arrangements, you may check the website for the U.S. Embassy in your country. Here are two links: http://travel.state.gov/links.html and http://travel.state.gov/visa;immigrants.html.
