Looking for Leaders

The Poynter Institute is looking for a dozen news leaders to help spread the change gospel via a series of high-impact trainings across the country.

The selected corps - the McCormick Change Leadership Fellows - will gather at Poynter next March to share and absorb some of the best change management techniques. Though the Fellows will continue working in their newsrooms, Poynter will dispatch them occasionally to trainings across the country. The idea is to spread best practices for innovating during a tumultous time by using the experts to teach. Costs are covered through the MF grant.

Poynter's call for applicants can be found at (http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=34&aid=152657) . Criteria include:

• Working at a management level.
• Respected and admired as a leader.
• Implementing or accomplishing a significant change.
