German Radio Academy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Deutsche Hörfunkakademie GmbH (DHA) was a journalistic training and further education institution for private and public broadcasting with a focus on radio. It was founded in 1994 in Düsseldorf , moved to Dortmund a year later and was based in Oberhausen from 2005 . Its shareholders were the State Media Authority of North Rhine-Westphalia (LfM), West German Broadcasting (WDR) and Radio NRW . The shareholders decided to cease business operations at the academy at the end of 2008. Maintaining an offer almost exclusively for NRW local radio has "turned out to be uneconomical", explained the shareholders.

Seminars and services

The core business of the DHA was seminars and workshops. The training of volunteers was an important part of the DHA's work. In addition, the DHA offered a wide range of advanced and advanced training courses for journalists, especially from the radio industry.

Projects

Management qualification in Bosnia-Herzegovina

Deutsche Welle Academy, PRO-Management and the DHA developed a comprehensive management training program for the management of the public radio and television companies in Bosnia-Herzegovina on behalf of the EU delegation in Sarajevo.

These training activities and coaching should support the establishment of a politically independent broadcasting system. Through the development of a leadership and management program, members of the broadcasting and administrative boards as well as the directors of the three public broadcasters in Banja Luka and Sarajevo that existed in Bosnia-Herzegovina were professionally qualified.

Trimedial work for local journalists

Under the leadership of DHA, a network of European educational institutions, media companies, associations and social partners had developed a future-oriented training concept for local journalists.

Qualification of AV producers in Romania

The PHARE project, worked on by the consortium PRO-Management, the University of Bucharest, HMR International and the DHA, had the aim of supporting the international exchange of films, introducing the Romanian AV industry to the European market and promoting media-cultural diversity in Europe.

Quality management in community radio

The Citizens Radio Quality Management (QMB) was a DHA project on behalf of the State Media Authority of North Rhine-Westphalia (LfM). The two-year project (started on December 1, 2005) was accompanied by a project advisory board to which Ulrich Timmermann belonged as a representative of the WDR . The project manager was Uschi Wienken

Antenna German / Country

Since 1999 the LfM has been running the advanced training program "Antenne Deutsch / Land" for radio journalists from Eastern European countries and Central Asia together with the Goethe-Institut eV and in cooperation with the Foreign Office. Every year they used the rooms, the technology and the expertise of DHA in this area.
