Leaders Need to Learn, Too. Here’s an Opportunity.
Being a lifelong student isn’t just for reporters. API’s next summit is built for news leaders ready to learn, experiment, and lead with community at the center.

If you’ve followed Backstory & Strategy, you know I put a lot of weight on being a lifelong student. That’s true for reporters and editors, but it’s just as true for leaders. If we’re not learning alongside our teams, we’re falling behind—and dragging our organizations with us.
That’s why I’m excited about an upcoming American Press Institute summit on Inclusion, Belonging, and Local Leadership. It’s built for news leaders who’ve tried things, had some wins, made some mistakes, and want to create real pathways for residents to become storytellers. If that sounds like you, here’s the link to apply.
Deadline: Friday, August 29, 11:59 p.m. ET.
