Farewell to Ian Masters and hello to 18 new VJs

The “Introduction to Video Journalism” courses in Budapest finished on a high note and a sad note. The high note was that another 18 journalists from 13 countries attended the course and all were thrilled with the training they received and what they had personally achieved on the course. The sad note was that this was the last training course to be lead by Ian Masters of the Thomson Foundation (seen at the back of the VJ2 group).

Ian has been involved with Circom from the early nineties and has been leading the training since 2001. In 2003 he had the foresight to see that television journalism was changing and, along with Karol Cioma, designed the Circom VJ courses .

It is quite fitting that this should have been his last course. All in Circom wish him fair sailing and a long and happy retirement.
