Journalist cannot be expected to communicate in their own mother-tongue only.  The world is getting smaller and people from all over the world will be in contact on daily basis at work-place. Some aggreement such the 2015 ASEAN Free Trade will speed up the globalization process. Just like in any other industry, people work in mass media are also expected to be able to fully communicate in English with others (other journalists, civilians, experts, etc). To smooth the process, BINUS Creates provides a service to assist DETIK TV to improve its journalists in communicating, delivering a presentation, and writing/editing in English.

English for Journalists Program is a 12 week English training program aimed to help improve participants’ skill and proficiency in giving presentation and sharing ideas on mass media-related contexts.  Designed in a workshop – like approach, the program induced participants to actively participate and present their ideas in the challenging and professional settings.
