Konrad Adenauer Center for Journalism at the Ateneo de Manila
University (CFJ) is accepting applications until February 13 for admission into the Diploma Program in Radio Journalism, Dr. Violet Valdez, CFJ Executive Director announced today.
The CFJ is offering this diploma program to working journalists from Southeast Asia and Mongolia. A modified distance-learning program, it consists of two online and one on-campus courses, as follows: Writing for Radio (February 27-April 8); Basic Radio Production (April 24-May 3); and Advanced Digital Audio Production (May 22-July 1).
“The program is intended for broadcast journalists who have not had formal training and wish to re-tool, as well as print journalists who plan to shift to radio or add broadcast journalism to their skills repertoire,” Dr. Valdez said.
The diploma program will accept 15 working journalists from the
Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Mongolia. Those seeking financial support may apply for a CFJ Fellowship grant which covers tuition fees and international travel.
Fellowship applicants are screened on the basis of their career
records, commitment to good journalism and leadership potentials.
The diploma is the first offering under CFJ’s broadcast journalism
program launched on December 6, 2005 and is the second diploma program offered by CFJ. The first was the Diploma in Online Journalism. So far CFJ has offered courses in print and online journalism.
Applications for admission and the fellowship grants must be received by Monday, 13 February 2006. Forms can be downloaded from http://cfj.ateneo.edu or requested by e-mail at newsroom@admu.edu.ph. CFJ may also be contacted by phone at (632) 9263253 or 426 6001or fax at 9263254.
CFJ, a joint project of the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung and the Ateneo de Manila University, was founded in June 2000 to promote good journalism in the Asia region by providing training opportunities primarily for working journalists.
