About the Poynter Medal for Lifetime Achievement in Journalism Each year\, Poynter presents its medal to an accomplished journalist whose contributions to the news media have inspired and informed people around the world. The medal was created to celebrate journalism and the legacy of Nelson Poynter\, the former owner and editor of the St. Petersburg Times — now the Tampa Bay Times — who founded what was then called the Modern Media Institute for the professional development of journalists nearly 50 years ago. Upon his death\, in an exceptional act of vision and philanthropy\, Mr. Poynter bequeathed ownership of the newspaper to the school to ensure the independence of his beloved local paper. Today\, the Poynter Institute\, named in honor of its founder after his death\, still owns the Times while having grown into a world-renowned nonprofit for journalistic excellence. Poynter trains tens of thousands of journalists\, newsrooms\, educators and students around the globe in person and online each year. Clients include CBS\, NBC\, Univision\, ESPN\, NPR\, Gannett\, McClatchy and TEGNA newsrooms\, and numerous local TV stations\, community newspapers and digital news sites.  Poynter also operates three fact-checking enterprises: the Pulitzer Prize-winning PolitiFact\, the Nobel Peace Prize-nominated International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN)\, and the social-first digital media literacy initiative MediaWise. In addition\, Poynter is the home of the Craig Newmark Center for Ethics and Leadership\, a resource for journalists and citizens to navigate today’s complex media landscape.
