TRAINING: TOL Summer 2005 Foreign Correspondent Training Course
TOL Summer 2005 Foreign Correspondent Training Course July 16- 30, 2005; Prague, Czech Republic Transitions Online (TOL)-the leading Internet newsmagazine covering Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and the former Soviet Union-will be presenting a summer course designed to prepare college and university students for a career in international journalism. Unlike many other journalism courses, TOL's instruction will offer much more than theory. Our speakers will provide concrete examples drawn from years of experience in both Central and Eastern Europe and elsewhere. Lecturers and TOL staff members who have worked for CNN, the Boston Globe, MSNBC, The Economist, Reuters, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and the BBC will talk about how they got their start and the lessons they've learned working in print, broadcast, and Internet journalism. During the second week, you'll tackle a reporting assignment in Prague. You will be assigned to cover a story and will spend two to three days reporting and writing your article. Course trainers will treat participant stories as professional submissions and will offer constructive criticism-on subject matter, sources, and story structure. The best articles will be published on TOL's website and the posted link offered to foreign editors throughout the world via our syndication system. <http://www.tol.cz/look/TOL/section_courses.tpl?IdLanguage=1&IdPublication=23&NrIssue=2> Application deadline: May 1, 2005 Some scholarships available apply here http://netfinity-4.mdlf.org/generator/published/form.php?formid=222 TOL is also offering additional journalism opportunities after the course ends, including Prague-based internships and the chance to go on assignment with a TOL correspondent abroad and report a feature story, in a country of your choice. Participants will hail from several countries and offer an international mix of views on the media and foreign affairs, providing you the chance to form lifelong friendships and make professional contacts with people who are heading toward careers as journalists in the world's most newsworthy places. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. Scholarships may be available, though preference will be given to citizens of Central and Eastern Europe. ------------------------ Yahoo!
