The International Academy of Journalism (Intajour) was a training institute for journalists from countries with limited press freedom and freedom of expression. The academy is based in Hamburg, Germany. Intajour is a limited liability company owned by Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA. == History == Intajour was created to mark the 175th anniversary of Bertelsmann in 2010.〔http://www.intajour.com/bertelsmann_corp/wms41/customers/intajour/pdf/Pressrelease_Founding_of_InternationalAcademyofJournalism.pdf〕 The patron of the academy’s founding act was European Commission President José Manuel Barroso, who declared in his opening speech: "High-quality journalism is a cornerstone of democracy."〔http://www.intajour.com/about-us/mission-statement.html〕 The idea behind the academy: Intajour regards the digitization of the media as an opportunity for press freedom and freedom of expression worldwide. The so-called New Media make it possible to directly connect to journalists all over the world and support them in their work. Intajour's “Journalism in the Digital World” training program aims to prepare journalists from countries with limited press freedom for the digital future – and thereby contribute to safeguarding the future of press freedom and freedom of expression.〔http://www.intajour.com/Int.-Academy-of-Journalism/program/Program-description.html〕 Werner Eggert was appointed as the academy's Founding Director.〔http://www.intajour.com/bertelsmann_corp/wms41/customers/intajour/pdf/Pressrelease_Appointment_of_WernerEggert.pdf〕 The academy started operations on January 1, 2011. The application process for the first ten-month “Journalism in the Digital World” training program opened in May 2011.〔http://www.editorsweblog.org/2011/05/12/bertelsmann-journalism-academy-intajour-now-accepting-applications〕 The first 12 Intajour fellows arrived in Hamburg, Germany in September 2011. They successfully completed the program in June 2012.〔http://www.intajour.com/bertelsmann_corp/wms41/customers/intajour/pdf/Intajour_Fellows_engl.pdf〕 In May 2014, three years after its founding, it was announced that Bertelsmann will close the academy. The company did not comment on the reasons. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Intajour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
