Caledonia Media is leading a major training programme at Gannett’s Scottish operation, the Herald-Times Group

The year-long project includes training some 300 journalists on a new Atex newsgathering system and creating and delivering conversion training modules covering multimedia units including podcasting, vodcasting and live news updates on screen and in camera on the new cross-title website

Charles Fletcher is heading the project with colleague Tamas Barok and a team of in-house and external trainers at Scotland’s biggest-selling daily newspaper group.
