Teaching Fellowship

We’ve connected a team of Teaching Fellows from industry and academia to offer in-person training whenever possible. Our Teaching Fellows provide free workshops to connect journalists with the latest technology in newsrooms across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, North America, Latin America and parts of Asia. While we can’t be everywhere all the time, our lessons are always available online.

Our Training Network partners are already supporting journalists in many countries and regions including Argentina, Australia, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, the Middle East, the UK and the US.
