Euronews, the multilingual broadcast news organisation headquartered in Lyon, France, has chosen WAN-IFRA to strengthen its Journalism 360 capacity
Euronews has chosen WAN-IFRA to train its teams in immersive journalism, in order to integrate this new mode of story-telling.
The programme will concentrate on practical exercises and will be directed by Anh Hoà Truong, a bilingual WAN-IFRA consultant and instructor (French/English). Based in Palo Alto, California, Truong is a journalist and teaches immersive technologies, as well as virtual and augmented realities, at Stanford University.
Participants will learn how to lead an immersive project, choose the topic that lends itself to 360 journalism, learn shooting techniques with a 360 camera, etc.
The programme, offered in either French or English, is also available to other organisations.
David Sallinen, Director of WAN-IFRA Training in Europe, is guiding the new programme and, in collaboration with WAN-IFRA’s Global Alliance for Media Innovation, also setting up a network of virtual reality and Journalism 360 project managers within international media to facilitate exchange and innovation.
