Summer journalism courses in Prague

TOL (Transitions) is offering journalism courses in Prague this summer. TOL is a non-profit organisation based in Prague, created to support the development of a strong, independent media. Last year, TOL trained over 300 journalists and journalism students from some 50 countries. Our trainers are professional journalists who have reported for highly-respected media outlets such as the BBC, The Economist, CBS, The Guardian and The New York Times.

TOL's courses bring together students from around the world, and feature practical training from journalists who have reported for respected media such as the BBC, Reuters, the New York Times, the Guardian, CBS, the Washington Post and Newsweek.

Summaries of each course are given below, and full details can be found on TOL's website:
