"RT Academy is a great opportunity for journalists and bloggers from all over the world. I am very impressed that each talented young blogger or keen journalist can learn from one of the best and the largest global media networks – directly from RT. And it is extremely important that RT Academy does not charge any tuition fees for sharing their knowledge and expertise and that the key admission condition is to have some relevant professional experience and ability to write interesting and concise scripts. To my mind such policy demonstrates strong RT's commitment to the society development thought contributing to the true, fair and free press and media development and creating education and professional growth opportunities in the sphere of international journalism. I am sure this initiative will inspire many correspondents and bloggers from Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America and let them bring to life the stories which are really important for people", – said Yulia Yakovleva, Marketing Executive Officer, BRICS+ Universities Association.
