The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ), with the support from the U.S. Consulate General in Hyderabad, India, hosted the “Workshop for Bloggers on Global Issues and Challenges,” in January 2015. The program was offered to support media professionals and bloggers in the dynamic locale of Hyderabad to illustrate the impact of international issues on the daily lives of their local readership and India’s broader development objectives. ICFJ’s partner in Hyderabad was the Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI).

This course was open to journalists, bloggers, communications professionals, and students. It was designed for anyone who wants to learn to tell compelling video stories – a key skill for media and communications jobs. The course covered the basics of shooting and editing a video story.

This 11-month training program has been extended to early 2013. it promotes the concept of citizen journalism, where members of the public play an active role in the process of collecting, reporting, analyzing and disseminating news and information through traditional and non-traditional media outlets.

In March 2018, ICFJ will embark on a two-week “U.S. Study Tour for Brazilian Journalists: Press Freedom and Innovation in Journalism” with 10 media professionals.

The study tour will feature visits in Washington, D.C.; Austin, Texas; and San Francisco, California. This tour will facilitate an exchange of information, professional links and contacts between the Brazilian journalists and the U.S. media professionals, academics, technologists and other experts whom they will encounter.
