Celebrate the power and importance of journalism as we honor Robin Roberts with the Poynter Medal for Lifetime Achievement in Journalism.
The Poynter Institute’s annual Bowtie Ball showcases the most accomplished, dazzling and lively personalities in journalism as we gather in Tampa Bay for one electric celebration. It’s our way of saying thank you. Your generosity fortifies journalism’s role in a free society. Poynter champions freedom of expression, civil dialogue, and compelling journalism where citizens can participate in healthy societies.
Since the Bowtie Ball debuted in 2015, Poynter has welcomed thousands of guests who support the free press to don their favorite formal attire — Bow Ties encouraged — for dinner, dancing, and toasts with Pulitzer Prize winners, best-selling authors, and media personalities from the nation’s most beloved and revered newsrooms.
Our guests enjoy an immersive experience and access to internationally acclaimed journalists. They leave with insight into the powerful behind-the-scenes stories about the events that have shaped our world.
