Early in Poynter’s community conversation Tuesday night, a visual was displayed for the audience that sparked laughter, amusement and confusion. Here was Jesus Christ, underwater. His eyes were closed, and his crown of thorns appeared behind him like a halo. But his outstretched arms were not, in fact, arms. They had been transformed into beady-eyed shrimp.

Thousands of deaths in the city of Baltimore to overdoses of fentanyl. A clever TikTok video about a New Jersey mall and a complex tax dispute.

This article is part of The Poynter 50, a series reflecting on 50 moments and people that shaped journalism over the past half-century — and continue to influence its future. As Poynter celebrates its 50th anniversary, we examine how the media landscape has evolved and what it means for the next era of news.

When Bernice Rabideaux was five years old, she and her four siblings were herded into a large black car. It was 1930. Their nookomis (“grandmother” in the Ojibwe language) said they would be staying with the sisters because there weren’t enough “eats” at her house for everyone. They were driven a few miles away to a Catholic-run school on the Bad River reservation in Wisconsin.
