They had something called #digitalwomenleaders, Women's Leadership Accelerator, Women's Leadership Academy. This raises suspicions because in a business environment nobody should care what you have between your legs, and the racketeers attacking us always claim to be representing women and gays and other minorities. Nothing immediately looks wrong with it though.

The ONA Women's Leadership Academy is a project of Poynter Institute.

Remember that we got a complete freezeout from Poynter. They would not talk to us. If anyone got so much as an acknowledgment, a "thanks we'll look into it" let alone a correction, let us know and I will be happy to be wrong about that.

None of these names look familiar and they are not in my digs. We have grievances against some of the organizations they work for but not them.
It is odd to see Prudential Financial have an interest in journalism for "brand and marketing". Professional journalism is supposed to be
not that, and why an insurance company? Odd.
