ESA.tv – European Summer Academy of Television
From 28th July till 25th August 2007 the first European Summer Academy (ESA.tv) took place in Nuremberg.
Supported by the Robert-Bosch-Foundation, 20 joung Journalists from Public TV-Stations of 12 different countries met in Nuremberg to get trained and to learn, what’s about an independent Journalist in a democratic society.
The participants received intensive 4 weeks’ training from the UK based Thomson Foundation at ARD/ZDF’s centre of excellence – the Media Academy. This partnership of the best technical resources and know-how, combined with years of experience in the field of broadcast training ensured the highest possible standards.
The participants gain insight into current developments, trends and successful television formats in different European television sectors with participants presenting their own country and their TV station to the rest of the group. They explored the role of the journalist in a democratic European society.
Those were four weeks of hard training, impressing excursions, shooting in a foreign country, great experiences and building a strong network between European TV-Journalists.
Stories that participants shoot during first ESA.tv are avaiable on

Television Journalism Training 2007
May 1st - 13th, Bilbao, Spain
This year's Television Journalism Training began in Bilbao on May 1st. 18 journalists from 11 countries were joined by 4 local public relations graduates who took part in the course and acted as local field producers.
The training was held at the Abba Parque hotel and facilities were provided by TVE. During the first part of the training the delegates took part in theoretical and practical sessions based on good television journalism principles.
The second part of the training saw the delegates filming and editing stories that they had generated themselves. The stories were about the Bilbao Transporter Bridge, the Bilbao Effect on tourism, Athletico Bilbao's policy of Basque only players, wild wolves who are killing sheep, an old toy exhibition and an up and coming tapas competition.

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.
