SEO - Search Engine Optimization
Finding the right word has always been an important goal for journalists. This is even more true today with the emergence of SEO (Search engine optimization). Each word must be chosen carefully so that your written content appears in the first search results carried out by users in the immense ocean of information on the Web.
This course provides participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement effective SEO strategies, particularly on Google.
Launching a participative programme
FRANCE 24 is the first international news channel to have launched a participative programme using amateur images only, developing an original programme with 'The Observers' site as inspiration. The Académie's specialists can help every step of the way – from the programme's initial design to the test or pilot episode.
