history
Founded in Bad Boll as early as 1949 under the name of Christliche Presse Presse Akademie (cpa) , it was located in Düsseldorf from 2009 to 2015 after several moves . From 1973 the Evangelische Medienakademie brand belonged to the joint venture of Evangelical Journalism (GEP), the central journalistic institution of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD). Most recently, the Evangelical Media Academy belonged to the Evangelical Media Association in the Rhineland. Part of the professional training and further education for journalists was absorbed by the Ruhr Media Academy .
In 2019, the brand moved under the umbrella of the North Church in the Public Service Office in Hamburg. There it combines the journalistic advanced training offers of the previous “Medienbüro Hamburg” with the “public relations course” (no university degree, but its own certificate) as well as the advanced training offers for church public relations in the North Church.
Self-image
The Evangelical Media Academy is a church institution for the training and further education of journalists. The Protestant Northern Church wants to help lay the foundations for a simultaneously professional and responsible journalism. It sees itself in a special way committed to conveying ethical values and standards that constitute the journalistic professional role. That is why the Northern Church is committed to promoting journalistic competence and qualifications. This applies equally to employees in both the church and the secular media.
offer
More than 100 courses with a good 1000 course places are offered annually in the three program formats. Most of them are aimed at imparting journalistic skills in digital communication, from working with social media and search engine research to courses on multimedia storytelling or mobile reporting. The media academy shows its evangelical profile through courses on ethical principles in journalism or on the professional handling of hate speech online.
The services of the Evangelical Media Academy in the field of journalism are open to everyone. She works independently of publishers and political influences. The seminar program in church public relations is aimed at everyone who is employed in the Northern Church as volunteers or full-time.
Protestant journalism school
In 1995 the Evangelical School of Journalism (EJS) was founded under the umbrella of the Media Academy , which trains journalists in Berlin. After the media academy was assigned to the Evangelical Media Association in the Rhineland on January 1, 2009, the training in the EJS in Berlin remained under the umbrella of the community work of Evangelical Journalism .
