Broadcast and Digital Journalism Workshop

The U.S. Embassy in Brasília, Brazil, is seeking applications for a grant to support a one-week workshop in Brasilia for 25-30 journalism students. The workshop will provide hands-on training to journalism students on all stages of producing news, via broadcast and digital media. The project aims to expose Brazil's next generation of journalists to the practices and ethics of U.S. journalism and promote greater objectivity and technical capacity in the broadcasters of the future. Key activities include: * Journalism students will be exposed to a variety of ways to create and distribute stories using emerging tools * Participants will develop a broad range of skills needed in the modern newsroom * Students will produce a 30-minute-long televised newscast and a media plan for digital platforms on a story selected by participating groups of students * Discussion of current media topics, including misinformation, ethics, and press freedom
