We Kick Off Guardian Media Academy in London – Day 1

Until last month most Americans had never heard to The Guardian.

Today, after the Snowden Affair, pretty much everyone in America, and indeed the world, now knows that The Guardian is one of the world’s best newsapers,(if not the very best).

We know because:
a) we spend a lot of time the UK
b) we have had a partnership with The Guardian for nearly 5 years.

And if you want to become a working video journalist, what better place to learn than with The Guardian and in London?
(Particularly as it is 85 degress (fahrenheit) here – more like LA actually… (global warming has a few admittedly short-term benefits!))

Today is the first day of our 4-day bootcamp.
We’ve got a wide range of students, from a London based artist to a freelancer with Sky to writers from Lonely Planet to a former on-air journalist from Paris, and many others.

There is nothing more exciting (to me at least… well, almost nothing) than seeing what happens when you empower creative people with video tools and the skill set to make their ideas into reality.

I will keep you posted.

    I am new to building websites and I was wondering if having your
    blog title relevant to your content really that crucial?
    I see your title, “We Kick Off Guardian Media Academy in London ” does seem to be spot on
    with what your blog is about however, I prefer to keep my title
    less content descriptive and based more around site branding.

    Would you think this is a good idea or bad idea? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
