Counter Academy for Arab Journalism

About the organization

The Counter Academy for Arab Journalism is a one-year fellowship program that encourages creativity and critical thinking. The Academy provides an alternative to training programs that deal with the press in a practical and purely technical way, and reduces it to applications and production programs, and considers recipients as numbers and views and button clicks on the screens. The Academy also offers an alternative to traditional education, which deals with the media in a purely academic and theoretical way, and performs it in a rigid and non-critical manner, or makes it serve authority and regulations in general, rather than questioning them.
