Welcome to Berlin Journalism Academy (BJA), Berlin’s International school for hands-on professional training. Here, you’ll learn from people who've spent years in the field and believe in what they do.
Nadja Vancauwenberghe, BJA Founder
At BJA, we don’t just teach journalism — we practise it. This academy is built on my 27 years of journalism experience, from war zone to newsrooms. Here you won’t learn “content creation” or “storytelling”. Instead you’ll learn the craft of first-hand, no-nonsense reporting, the only way that works: by doing.
All our courses are hands-on, immersive, and to the point, guided every step of the way by professionals who’ve been there, done that, and continue to do it, because they love it.
Whether you’re a junior journalist looking to get published, a media professional seeking journalistic knowhow, or a career-changer eager to develop your reporting skills, BJA offers a dedicated learning experience in print, online and video platforms.
Small, focused groups and personalised feedback ensure that every participant receives individual attention and meets their goals.
Join us and become part of a community that values the power of good, no-nonsense professional journalism!
