Diploma in Visual Journalism from The Asian Center for Journalism at the Ateneo de Manila University

The Asian Center for Journalism at the Ateneo de Manila University is accepting applications to its Diploma in Visual Journalism program.

The program is open to practicing Asian photojournalists and journalists and offers them a wider theoretical and practical perspective on visual storytelling for news events.

The DVJ is a blended learning course, which means part of it is done online, part on-campus.  It is composed of five courses: Fundamentals of Visual Journalism, Visual Storytelling/Literacy, Journalistic Writing for Multimedia, Multimedia Platform Practices, Final Portfolio and Publication. Near the end of the program is the on-campus session where students gather face-to-face for the portfolio presentation that caps the program.

The deadline for applications is February 5 2021.

Practicing journalists are eligible for fellowships offered by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung. Please click this link for more information on the fellowship. http://adenauer.careers/
