Deutsche Welle Journalist Training Program

Deutsche Welle invites application for its next 2012 Journalist Training Program. Professional, practical and international – these are the hallmarks of Deutsche Welle’s cross-media traineeships. It’s also why they are highly coveted among young journalists.
Deutsche Welle’s tri-medial traineeships have long had an excellent reputation. DW-AKADEMIE offers young journalists professional, international editorial training for radio, television and Internet. Trainees benefit from the global reach of international broadcaster Deutsche Welle, Germany’s global media calling card.
In addition to the classic traineeship for native German speakers, Deutsche Welle offers international traineeships. This form of journalism training is unique in Germany.

1. Practical Training
Deutsche Welle’s training program is geared toward real life situations. In the course of 18 months, the trainees go through various German language departments of the Deutsche Welle in Bonn and Berlin. They can also gather practical experience at DW Studio Brussels or DW-Hauptstadtstudio Berlin, DW-TV’s studio overlooking parliament in Germany’s capital city.

2. Compact Seminars
Practical training is supplemented with a total of three one-month seminars at DW-AKADEMIE. Here, trainees have the opportunity to fine-tune their journalistic knowledge and skills with in-house and guest trainers. The topics include the following:

• journalistic formats
• research methods and presenting techniques
• working with texts, sounds and pictures
• designing Web sites
• basic training in video journalism
• journalistic ethics and press law

3. Posting of Choice

Each trainee has the opportunity to select a one-month external posting at a location of their choice. Whether it’s a broadcaster or a different kind of institution, at home or abroad — the posting of choice is a unique opportunity to give your traineeship a personal touch that could prove decisive in the future.
