Our History
Journalism Academy was founded in 2010 by a group of passionate journalists and educators who recognized a growing need for comprehensive and accessible journalism training. Initially, the academy offered a small number of workshops and seminars focused on basic news writing and reporting skills. Over the years, we have expanded our curriculum to include a wide range of courses covering everything from investigative reporting and digital journalism to media law and ethics.
From humble beginnings in a small office space, Journalism Academy has grown into a thriving institution with a dedicated faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and a diverse student body. We have trained hundreds of aspiring journalists who have gone on to work for leading news organizations, media companies, and non-profit organizations around the world. Our graduates are making a difference in their communities by reporting on important issues, holding power accountable, and giving voice to the voiceless.
In 2018, Journalism Academy launched its online learning platform, making our courses accessible to students anywhere in the world. This has allowed us to reach a wider audience and expand our impact on the field of journalism. We are committed to continuing to innovate and adapt to the changing needs of the industry, ensuring that our students are well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the digital age.
Throughout our history, Journalism Academy has remained committed to its core mission of empowering aspiring journalists with the knowledge, skills, and ethical foundation they need to succeed. We are proud of our accomplishments and excited about the future of journalism education.
