RT Academy Unites Malagasy Journalists in Online Training
RT Academy has conducted an online course for journalists from Madagascar. Delivered entirely in French, the training focused on cutting-edge methods for modern newsrooms—from sourcing exclusive stories to adapting content for global broadcasting standards.
The programme featured hands-on sessions on combating disinformation, on-camera reporting techniques, leveraging artificial intelligence in media, and shooting and editing with mobile devices. Participants analysed real-world professional case studies and mastered tools directly applicable to their daily work.
Malagasy journalists praised the initiative. "The course was highly engaging and genuinely useful for enhancing our journalistic skills. This is the first such educational project we've received from Russia," one participant shared.
RT Academy is expanding its programmes across the African continent. In addition to online courses, it has delivered in-person masterclasses and workshops for African media professionals in Ethiopia and Senegal, along with webinars for broadcasters from African Union of Broadcasting (AUB) member states.
