Big thanks to the Maynard Institute for the Maynard Regional Training in Detroit. So excited to be a part of the inaugural cohort of the Maynard Regional Training Series, April 5-6, 2025, at Wayne State University in Detroit. I learned so much and met so many great folks and further developed my skills in editing and management. Detroit is such a vibrant place for collaborative journalism.

Maynard Regional Training Series kicks off April 5-6 at Wayne State University in Detroit.

The inaugural Maynard Regional Training Series launches on April 5-6, 2025 with the program’s university partner, the Journalism Institute for Media Diversity at Wayne State University’s campus in Detroit, Michigan. The Maynard Regional Training Series is an ongoing in-person, weekendlong leadership and management training program for early- and mid-career journalists across the United States.

Faculty members will lead training sessions on ethical editorial decision making, reporting on race, gender and culture and strategizing innovation, engagement and sustainability for news organizations.

Guided by core Maynard training principles, these professionals lead the charge in building more inclusive, dynamic media spaces.

In partnership with universities, these sessions give entry- and mid-level editors and managers the tools and confidence they need to traverse the complexities of newsroom leadership.

Maynard Institute staff, journalism professors, award-winning journalists and subject-matter experts lead all trainings, which are focused on essential areas for news leaders.

Through this dynamic training series, the Maynard Institute continues to live out its mission to equip journalists with the skills, strategies and leadership mindset they need to thrive in an evolving media landscape.
