Feeling
the heat

Last December, over 100 CNN Academy participants from around the globe united in Abu Dhabi for a week-long immersive simulation. Witness the intense training, innovative workshops, and critical discussions fueling urgent climate action in this compelling new documentary.

Empowering the next generation of global journalists

CNN Academy is designed to empower and upskill the next generation of journalists. It builds on a long tradition established by CNN’s founder, Ted Turner, to train and nurture future talent by developing skills, forging links, and opening doors. 

From Dublin to Kuala Lumpur, we bring the newsroom to the classroom by connecting participants with CNN’s top correspondents and teaching them what it takes to be a successful multimedia journalist
