BBC to organise training on journalism in 8 Indian cities
BBC World Service Trust is going to organise a week long training course on feature journalism, for print and television journalists, in eight cities across India, according to company officials.
Journo Training
The trainings would be led by an experienced BBC trainer accompanied by a local trainer.
The training course is designed for journalists with a specific interest in feature journalism (including news features) for early to mid career reporters. We also plan to do a shorter, follow-up course, of perhaps 3 days two/three months later.
These trainings will be conducted in Delhi and also in Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Srinagar, Kolkata, Bhubaneshwar and Thiruvanthapuram. Trainings for 4 cities namely Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Bhubaneswar will be organized in mid September/October while trainings for Bangalore, Chennai, Thruvananthpuram and Srinagar will be held early next year.
We are looking at journalists (both men and women) with following criterion:
Ø Early to mid career journalists (2-5 years of experience)
Ø Interest in feature journalism
Ø Can speak and understand basic English (as English will be the primary language for training)
BBC is also looking for trainees in Delhi and Mumbai.
