## Introduction
Journalism is evolving so quickly that newsrooms are struggling to keep up.
academy.AFRICA seeks to help, by bringing face-to-face training into partner newsrooms across Africa, and by hosting public workshops at monthly Hacks/Hackers meetups.
The academy will also offer online courses and webinars, designed to teach just one tool or technique at a time, so participants can upgrade their skills at their own pace.
The training will be spearheaded by the continent’s largest digital journalism network, Code for Africa, with support from Google News Lab and World Bank's Global Media Development Programme.
