Summer course on Cultural affairs journalism

This intensive one-week workshop addresses professional development needs of cultural journalists, editors and media managers as important mediators in a system of cultural production, distribution and reception. Since the majority of media gives less time and space for serious coverage of culture and concentrates instead on glamour, scandal and gossip, the course stresses the systemic features of culture (its personal and social developmental dimensions, and strong relations to other social fields, such are education, economy, social policy, etc), gives the participants an overview of cultural policy’s outreach and in that way enables them to think and write in a critical sense about strategic cultural issues, with a systemic view and a grasp of complex systemic implications.

The Third Coast International Audio Festival (TCIAF)
The Third Coast International Audio Festival (TCIAF) was created by Chicago Public Radio in 2000 to support producers and other artists creating audio documentary and feature work of all styles and to bring this fresh and vital work to audiences throughout the world. Inspired by the popularity of documentary film festivals in the U.S., and motivated by the lack of attention given to outstanding audio work, the organizers of the TCIAF created their own blueprint for a radio festival. The TCIAF is made up of seven distinct yet complementary elements that both radiomakers and the general public can enjoy.

TCF is now accepting applications for our summer internship.
