Poynter-ONA Leadership Academy

This looks pretty cool … and free.

The four-and-a-half day program for 25 promising women leaders will include guidance on the business of journalism, individual leadership style, navigating newsroom culture, entrepreneurship and one-on-one coaching. Poynter and ONA will collaborate to build an agile, interactive curriculum led by prominent women faculty in the startup, tech, media and academic fields. Applicants will be screened for potential, need and diversity across ethnicity, age, geography, technology platforms and skill sets. Applications will open in early January 2015.
