Journalism Training "Economic and Political Reporting from SEE"

Robert Bosch Stiftung and Thomson Reuters Foundation offer a four-week training designed for midcareer journalists from Southeast Europe, Greece and Turkey. 16 journalists will be selected to participate in this course run by former Reuters journalists. The programme aims to enhance quality analysis and reporting on economic, political and financial issues and to improve effectiveness and professionalism of journalists in the region. The training deepens participants' understanding of business news and financial markets, strengthens their practical skills in news making and reporting and encourages regional networking among journalists.

The course includes two trainings: in London (19 April-2 May 2015) and in Berlin (13-26 September 2015). Participants will also travel to Brussels and Frankfurt to meet policy-makers and journalists reporting on European financial and political affairs. The course will cover the following broader topics:

- Writing about emerging market economies
- Markets reporting and covering companies
- Practical exercises based on current European themes

Applicants must be fluent in English and be full-time professional journalists who have been working for at least two years with a recognized publication, website, radio or television station. Applicants must have a portfolio that includes experience in economic journalism or must otherwise demonstrate a strong interest in economic, financial and political issues.
