CNN Academy to host 5-day training bootcamp for U.S. colleges in Atlanta
CNN is bringing its successful journalism training program, CNN Academy, to the United States for the first time, with eight U.S. colleges set to take part in a special 5-day bootcamp in Atlanta, beginning this Saturday.
Students from the University of Alabama, Clark Atlanta University, University of Florida, Georgia State University, Georgia Tech, Howard University, Morehouse College, and Spelman College will convene at CNN’s Techwood campus from October 12th to 16th to learn from CNN anchors, correspondents, editors, producers, and executives.
Students attending the Atlanta bootcamp will cover topics including the art of storytelling, mobile journalism, ethics, artificial intelligence and writing for digital platforms. Once their training is complete, they will head out into the field to gather content for their own stories and present them at the end of the 5-day course.
Following the bootcamp, 24 students from Georgia Tech, University of Florida, and Howard University will be among 160 of their peers from around the world who will gather in the UAE to take part in a special CNN Academy Newsroom Simulation in Abu Dhabi.
