Testimonials

“Transitions each year crafts an incredible course that: brings in guests on foreign correspondence and other news gathering, shares ideas on basic skills for better news storytelling, and visits important locations for the latest in news technique.”
~ Mark D. Harmon, professor of journalism and media, University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

“Life as a Foreign Correspondent (Raphael Minder, The Financial Times) - Raphael’s experience was so interesting to hear about, especially his current position in Poland. He gave some good pointers that can sometimes be overlooked, and gave a good sense of what the life of a foreign correspondent is like (and what the challenges are). Very informative. Really covered everything a journalist needs to know to be a successful journalist. ”

“Transitions has helped me understand myself better as a journalist...Before I started this program I thought I wanted to work just in the US and now... I realized there is so much more out there, so many different kinds of people and cultures and mannerisms.”
~ Jordan Kurdisch

“Definitely will come back for another course, had such a great time and learned so much. The course was amazing! I did benefit a great deal and also learned a lot about foreign journalism. In addition, I really liked the combination of a course in the morning and working on the field in the afternoon. Definitely would recommend this course to everybody who is interested in journalism or who is already working as a journalist. Thank you for this experience!”
~ Claire Micallef, Radio X.

“I loved the program so much! I really enjoyed hearing from people in the field and had a lot of fun in Prague while doing what I want to do for my career. I also appreciated all of the opportunities this course provided me.”
