A new program for young journalists has started at the Global Media Group Academy

As part of the Global Media Group Academy, a joint training program of the Report Media School and the Professional Media School has started, reports BAKU.WS.

Out of all applicants, 10 students were selected who will study the basics of news journalism during the course, and will also gain practical knowledge in photojournalism, digital marketing, and soft skills development. Special attention in the program is given to digital media and news format.

At the Professional Media School, students met with the head of the Human Resources Department of Global Management Saadat Ismayilova, the chief manager of the HR department Myalaknaz Yusifova, the editor-in-chief of Report agency Namig Mayilov, the head of the Report media school Ismail Rafigoglu, as well as school teachers - the director of Global Photostock Ramil Zeynalov, the head of the marketing department Laura Seidbeiyova and PR manager Vusal Bekirov.

Saadat Ismayilova emphasized that the Global Media Group Academy conducts serious and practice-oriented trainings: "For many years we have been successfully implementing various media projects, and professionals work on the program. In this project, we are strengthening the component related to digital technologies and modern media. In accordance with the holding's policy, when vacancies open, graduates of our courses are considered first - the best of them receive job offers."

Report's Editor-in-Chief Namig Mayilov noted that in journalism it's important to have a genuine interest in the profession. "Working with young people who come to media with love for the profession is a great pleasure. It's not an easy job: there is stress, rush, and responsibility, but journalism remains incredibly fascinating. Even at 60, when interviewing, you feel young. I'm sure the knowledge gained here will help you in the future," he said.

Ismail Rafikoglu congratulated the students who passed the selection and emphasized that the choice was not easy: "We carefully formed this group. Each student earned their place by successfully completing the test assignment. I am confident that the coming months will be an important step towards your professional growth."
