Events and Training

Each year, the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association and the PNA Foundation provide events and training for the various departments of news media companies. These events and training sessions allow news media organizations to gather for a one hour webinar or a one to three day event to expand their revenue-generating opportunities, management skills, and industry knowledge through educational sessions, outstanding speakers and networking opportunities.

Please consider a tax-deductible donation to the PNA Foundation in support of free or low cost sessions like these that help the PA news industry.
