Young, Central Asian media professionals or students have until August 30 to apply for an online course on journalism, written with help from major British news organizations.

Transitions Online (TOL), a news service and media NGO for post-Communist countries, is organizing the free course in cooperation with the BBC and the Guardian Foundation. The U.S.-based National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is supporting the training.

The goal is to help introduce beginning or would-be journalists to the standards of high-quality journalism. Twenty course participants will receive a BBC/Guardian/TOL certificate upon completion. They will also have the chance to write for TOL from Central Asia and become eligible for more advanced courses.

The course dates have not yet been finalized, but the course is scheduled to take place in October. For more information or to apply, contact Tania Haas at haast@....
