LumaFusion Now the Exclusive Mobile Video Editing App Taught Across CNN Academy Programs
LumaTouch today announced it has partnered with CNN Academy in a concerted effort to advance mobile storytelling techniques and support training across all of CNN Academy’s training simulations, master classes, courses and workshops. As a result of this partnership, LumaFusion – the award-winning professional multitrack editing platform for mobile devices – will become the exclusive video editing application taught across CNN Academy training programs.
CNN Academy was established to nurture the skills and talent of the next generation of journalists and content creators, offering advanced training and mentorship across multiple continents.
Terri Morgan, co-founder of LumaTouch commented, “This partnership marks a significant step in bridging the gap between media training and practical application in today’s rapidly-evolving digital landscape.”
Additionally, as part of the agreement, LumaTouch has worked closely with CNN Academy to develop a comprehensive approach to empowering its students, including:
- Co-Developed Course Development: CNN Academy and LumaTouch have jointly developed a course on Mobile Storytelling, featuring best practices and tutorials on using the LumaFusion app. This course will be made available to all CNN Academy Hub users.
- Training Support: LumaTouch is providing LumaFusion training support throughout the CNN Academy programs, including virtual workshops, Q&A sessions and resource materials.
- LumaFusion Free for All CNN Academy Students: LumaTouch is also providing the LumaFusion mobile video editing app free of charge to all CNN Academy students for the duration of their participation in the program.
The partnership, announced this week during Mojofest 2025 in Dublin which is also sponsored by CNN Academy, signals LumaTouch’s commitment to empowering and educating the next generation of journalists, storytellers and creators with the tools, techniques and skills they need to navigate the Creator Economy in one of the most technologically disruptive, and challenging eras for journalists since the dawn of the Internet.
LumaTouch co-founder and creator of LumaFusion, Terri Morgan, will deliver a presentation during Mojofest on ethics in storytelling and journalism in the age of AI, as part of a panel discussion entitled “Trust in the Age of AI.” For more information about Mojofest and its mission, please visit here.
