Where to Find News and Course Announcements on the EJTA Website

Updated

The EJTA website (ejta.eu) publishes dated news items and course announcements on its news section, which is where you should look for updates such as the Arena Academy online course series. The most recent item shown on the site is dated August 27, 2026, announcing that the Arena for Journalism in Europe has launched a new online course series to help journalists develop their skills. If you want current training opportunities shared through the EJTA network, start with that news feed rather than the association's general pages.

What the EJTA site publishes

EJTA — the European Journalism Training Association — describes itself as connecting the next generation of European journalists. Its public-facing content includes:

  • Dated news items on journalism training, network activities, and partner initiatives.
  • Course announcements, such as the Arena Academy online course series aimed at journalists' skills development.
  • Membership information, including a section headed "Five good reasons to join the EJTA network."

The news items are the part of the site that changes most often, so they are the practical entry point for anyone tracking what the network is currently sharing.

How to find a specific announcement

  1. Open ejta.eu.
  2. Go to the news section of the site.
  3. Scan the dated entries from the top; the newest items appear first.
  4. Open an item to read the full announcement and follow any linked course or programme page.

Expected result: you reach a dated post with the announcement text and, where relevant, a link to the course provider. Common snag: older items move down the feed quickly, so if you are looking for a specific course series, check a few pages back or use the site's search rather than relying only on the front page.

Reading the announcements critically

EJTA's news feed reports on activities run by the association and its partners — the Arena Academy item, for example, describes a course series launched by the Arena for Journalism in Europe, not a course EJTA itself delivers. When you find an announcement:

  • Note who is running the course or event, since EJTA often relays partner news.
  • Check the date on the item; a 2026 announcement may describe a series that has already started.
  • Follow the link in the post for enrolment details, schedules, and any costs, which are not stated in the news summary itself.

When this page is the right source

Use the EJTA news section if you want a curated view of European journalism training initiatives and network news in one place. If you need enrolment terms, fees, or eligibility for a specific course, go to the provider's own page linked from the announcement — the EJTA item gives you the lead, not the full course details.
