THE FUTURE OF JOURNALISM

CNN ACADEMY
NEWSROOM SIMULATION

Students from across CNN Academy's worldwide programs participate in a week-long realistic breaking news environment at CNN's Abu Dhabi broadcast center.

This immersive simulation enables participants to put into practice the skills acquired during their CNN Academy courses.

A professional movie backlot is the setting for a day of newsgathering. Student reporters dig for details through interviews and on-the-scene investigations.

Multiple press conferences challenge students to uncover hidden details about the unfolding story.

Reporting teams must navigate a continuous stream of simulated breaking news events, occurring both in-person and in a closed social media environment.
