The Cohort: Women Kicking Ass in Digital Media

This just dropped into my inbox, and frankly, I didn't know that for the past year, it has been missing. I just realized that I missed the support and perspective I was able to receive on a regular basis.




This will give you a taste of what they are all about:
•Reminders if you’re feeling overwhelmed or like a fraud, by Poynter faculty Samantha Ragland
•An editor’s guide to creating an online portfolio, by previous Cohort editor Rachel Schallom
•What to do when your career path is uncharted territory, by Masuma Ahuja

They are also hiring.

What professional support groups do you subscribe to?

Back in 2012, when Trayvon Martin was shot by an auxiliary officer in Florida, we (FDLE Curriculum Staff) were in the process of updating the auxiliary law enforcement officer program to mirror the appropriate sections of the basic law enforcement program. There was nothing we could at the time to change the training, so we brainstormed what we could do with the next versions of the training programs to address social injustice. Frankly, if nothing came from the field, we weren’t going to do anything. However, across Florida, training center directors, instructors, and commanding officers began drafting white papers to bring officer-involved shootings to the forefront of conversations within the Commission. We put together a Community Safety Workgroup from across Florida in 2015 and by 2017 published Strengthening the Bonds of Trust between Law Enforcement and the Public. Four years and many hurricanes, workshops, and meetings later, we rolled out the results of this effort July 1, ...
