About the College

The College of Journalism, part of the BBC Academy, oversees training for the BBC’s entire editorial staff.

This website focuses on best practice in core editorial skills, and offers an overview of specialist areas as well as legal and ethical issues.

It is a site about BBC journalism for BBC journalists, but is available to everyone.
