Circom Regional is once again able to offer video journalism training that incorporates the best practise of television reporting together with the practical aspects of filming and editing. The 10 day course, held in the beautiful city of Budapest,  introduces journalists to the principles of good TV reporting, but emphasis is placed upon practical work, the use of the camera and the non-linear laptop editing system.

Please note that this year the course is a little earlier than usual, therefore it would be appreciated if you would kindly submit applications as soon as possible.  
There are only 10 free places available for member stations – two other places are available at a cost of €1200.
