Osmangazi Municipality has launched the Osmangazi Media Academy in Bursa to develop the skills of young people interested in the media sector and provide qualified human resources to the industry.

The academy recently completed its first week of intensive training. The curriculum covered a wide range of disciplines, including news writing techniques, editing, presenting, announcing, camera operation, video editing, creative writing, and basic photography.
