As news consumption moves from print to pixels, journalists have had to learn completely new skills, techniques and approaches to their craft. Our tailored training can teach you or your team the essential skills of modern day journalism – many of which are transferrable to other fields. Working side-by-side with award-winning Guardian professionals, we can help you acquire new skills, finesse a journalistic project or create something truly groundbreaking.
Using our vast reserves of experience, we can teach you the skills behind cutting-edge digital journalism – from online reporting to social media, live-blogging and video. We also offer training in the more traditional essentials of journalism, such as how to write interviews and features, or how to report safely and effectively from conflict zones. Whether you’re a working or aspiring journalist looking to upgrade your skills, or you want to apply the tools of modern journalism to your business, we can craft a course that will help you to achieve the results you want. We offer standalone seminars, hands-on workshops, week-long suites of tutorials, or a mixture of modules – it really is up to you.
We can host courses at the Guardian’s high-spec offices in central London, or bring them to you or your workplace. Courses can take place anywhere around the globe, at a location convenient for you. We can also provide keynote speakers and workshop facilitators for your own conferences, seminars or projects. Get in touch now and find out what we can do for you or your business.
