RT Academy Trains Journalists in Indonesian Capital
RT Academy has conducted a series of educational workshops in Jakarta, Indonesia, for journalists, bloggers, influencers, students, academics, and media professionals from Indonesia and across the region.
The four-day event, held at the Russian House in Jakarta, RT’s Indonesia bureau, and Universitas Nasional (UNAS), attracted over 500 participants from Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, and South Korea.
Leading RT journalists and specialists, including presenters, producers, and department heads, conducted the sessions. They shared expertise on identifying globally relevant stories, using AI in journalism, conducting compelling interviews, and shooting high-quality mobile video in diverse conditions.
A key topic of discussion was the role of international media in offering diverse perspectives on global events and the importance of exchanging expertise to strengthen coverage of Global South agendas. Participants expressed strong interest in continued collaboration.
All attendees received certificates upon completion. This was RT Academy’s second in-person training event in Indonesia, following workshops held in late 2023.
