Training journalist to compete internationally!
In the 21st century, we all see that the media, with its new elements, has become an effective medium where global trade, politics and social relations are shaped. At a time when fake news, disinformation and manipulation spread tremendously, it has become very important to present accurate and meaningful information to people on time. Anadolu Agency, which was established with the mission of making the independence struggle and the voice of Anatolia heard all over the world, with the instruction of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in the years when the Turkish War of Independence was fought, today competes in the international arena to announce the news of those whose voices cannot be heard in the world with a similar philosophy.
Anadolu Agency, which has a special place in the history of the Turkish Republic, is one of the most important and influential agencies in its region today. Anadolu Agency, which is on the way to become the leader of the region in visual news, plays an important role in the development of journalism not only in our country but also in Turkey's near abroad with its publications in different languages.
Anadolu Agency, which follows the rapid developments in new communication platforms and technologies, will not only strengthen its news network abroad, but will also increase the quality and impact of the reporting done here.
Aiming to be the leader while competing with the giants of journalism, Anadolu Agency contributes to the development of new generation journalists with a common and independent understanding in Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Africa and the Middle East with the AA Academy.
Anadolu Agency News Academy strives to increase its broadcasting skills with practical knowledge and expertise in fields such as journalism in war and conflict zones, foreign policy, diplomacy, defense and economy, with practical rather than theoretical courses.
In the academy, Anadolu Agency's expert journalists and academics who are experts in their fields convey their knowledge and experience, allowing participants to write their own news, make interviews, develop a special report reflex, and access deeper information in the field of photography and imagery. Anadolu Agency is proud to convey its deep-rooted knowledge and experience of nearly a century to journalists all over the world through the AA Academy. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved.
