The New York Times talks about the New York Film Academy & NBC’s Digital Journalism School.

The New York Times reported today about the Broadcast Digital Journalism classes offered at the New York Film Academy's in partnership with NBC:

Straying far afield from its core business of reporting the news, NBC News is getting into the education business.

Readers of media-related Web sites have been bombarded with ads promoting NBC News’s partnership with the New York Film Academy. In Los Angeles, billboards for the four-week, eight-week and one-year digital journalism training programs loom large, part of an aggressive ad campaign to spread the word before the first summer classes.

A crying need for training in digital technologies is one of the motivating forces for its new business venture, NBC News executives said. More than 80 prospective students, some of them midcareer journalists seeking to keep their skills up to date, turned out on April 5 for an open house at NBC’s Rockefeller Center headquarters to promote the program, said Lyne Pitts, an NBC News vice president.

About the New York Film Academy & NBC Digital Broadcast Journalism school:

Through study and hands-on practice, students are trained in the fundamental principles, techniques, and craft of digital journalism. This is accomplished through a combination of lecture, demonstration, in-class hands-on production, and the students' own work.

Each student produces a series of prerecorded news projects, shot both single and multi-camera and edited on Final-Cut Pro.

Film School Students who complete this program should be able to confidently produce, shoot, report, record, and edit digital news projects suitable for broadcast. The first semester provides a foundation in digital and journalistic skills that students will apply to more advanced work in the second semester where the focus is on Live, Remote, Satellite, and News show production.
