We’re here in London running the Guardian Media Academy course!
Having left 85 degree weather in NY, the cold, wind and rain of England was something of a surprise, but did not dampen (local news joke), the enthusiasm of our dozen or so participants.
We’re also here because we’re in the middle of a competitive bid for a local TV station here. The government is giving out a dozen local TV licenses for broadcast operations, and if we can snag one, we’re going to build the best state-of-the-art, VJ-driven local station the world has ever seen.
Fingers crossed. We should know at the end of the month.
In the meantim, we’re busy training journalists from the UK, Norway, Switzerland and the US here at The Guardian this week.
We have another bootcamp next month in NY, and there are still a few spots available.
If you’d like to join us for four days at The Museum Tower (on top of the Museum of Modern Art), let us know now.
