Thank you for sharing your expertise, insights and care that enriched our Maynard-Medill Regional Training curriculum last week. Your sessions built on each other’s frameworks and delivered great impact in our allyship with program co-creators Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism and the Medill Local News Initiative, with support provided by the Knight Foundation.
Your high-calibre teaching and customized coaching reinvigorate the journalism work of another exceptional cohort of frontline editors and mid-level managers serving Chicago’s diverse news ecosystem, the region, and across the country.

We hope all participants will stay in touch by following us on social media and joining our Maynard Communities of Practice.
