SputnikPRO
Launched by SPUTNIK International News Agency and Radio, SputnikPRO offers a one-of-its kind framework of workshops, lectures and interactive training sessions for journalists, press secretaries and spokespersons, bloggers and students enrolled in the corresponding degree programs.
It holds in-person and online sessions in Russian, English, Spanish, Chinese, French and Persian languages to discuss professional journalism in its various aspects, including producing multimedia content, working with the social media, generating traffic for news websites, and a plethora of other topics.
The project covers a wide geography from Ecuador and Peru, Togo and Mali, the UAE and Iran all the way to the Philippines and Indonesia. Seasoned specialists and media managers from the news production, photo and video content, infographics, radio broadcasting and design desks have been sharing their expertise with SputnikPRO.
In May 2023, the SputnikPRO Zubobsky program was launched in Moscow. It consists of a five-day course for Russian-language journalists and bloggers from CIS countries. The Moscow program operates as a platform for facilitating a professional conversation and providing a deeper insight into the workings of the journalist community across CIS countries. The possibility to engage with experts and peers during these workshops and training sessions creates a solid foundation for promoting cooperation among Russian-language media outlets across the post-Soviet space.
SputnikPRO held 12 modules as part of this program as of September 2025 for 150 participants from 11 former Soviet republics. The possibility to ensure the necessary flexibility in terms of planning is factored into the project. Its program is adjusted every year to reflect the rapidly evolving trends in the present-day media industry
