After more than a year of negotiations, we are delighted to announce the launch of The Guardian Media Academy.
We have partnered with The Guardian, one of the most prestigious media organizations in the world to offer a series of video and digital media training courses for both media professionals and aspiring amateurs.
Our great success over the past three years with The Travel Channel Academy convinced us that the appetite for professional video training was and remains quite high.
As well, journalists of all stripes, from newspapers to magazines to online are increasingly finding that video is becoming a necessity for online work.
The Guardian Media Academy will offer 1-day, 2-day and 4-day intensive training courses.
Those who have their own gear are welcome to bring it. Those who don’t can rent state of the art digital equipment from us.
The course is completely hands on, and will adhere to the highest standards both technically and journalistically.
The courses will be run out of The Guardian’s headquarters in London, but can also be administered on-location for large media organizations who wish to take their staffs into the world of video literacy.

Kudos Michael. IMHO in the world of newspaper video Grauniad is top banana.

This is great news! A marriage made in heaven, linking the newspaper which I have preferred for several decades… both in ‘dead trees’ form and online… with your untiring efforts to spread the message of citizen videojournalism.
I wish your every success with this new venture.
