The Poynter Fellowship in Journalism at Yale brings distinguished journalists and members of the media to campus to interact with students, faculty, and the public. By way of lectures, panels, seminar discussions, and informal meetings, Poynter aims to provide a cultivated look at topics of interest from all possible perspectives.
Our programming will continue to adhere to the COVID-19 related university guidelines and policies outlined on the
COVID-19 site . Due to the ever-changing situation and varying event formats, hosts must carefully review and comply with the
Visitors Policy and
Events, Gatherings & Meetings Policy. Per the updated Visitor Policy, both the visitor and the university host must be fully vaccinated, and there must be a compelling academic or business reason for the visit to take place on campus rather than virtually or at a future date. We expect that most events will take place virtually. Still, these policies may evolve throughout the year, so we encourage you to check these pages frequently and consult your school or departments
Health and Safety Leader (HSL) with any specific policy questions. While we are not equipped to determine whether there is a compelling reason for an in-person visit, we encourage you to reach out to your HSL for guidance.
The Poynter Fellowship Committee will review all proposals from faculty members and student organizations. Once the committee approves a proposal, the Poynter Fellowship will notify the sponsor of the approved funding so they may begin coordinating the visit.
