SINGAPORE - The academy set up by SPH Media Trust to train its journalists will tie up with international media training institutions such as the Poynter Institute in Florida and the Reuters Institut

e for the Study of Journalism at Oxford University to offer programmes and fellowships to journalists here, said SMT's English, Malay and Tamil Media Group editor-in-chief Warren Fernandez.

Citing The Straits Times' senior health correspondent Salma Khalik, he said she had written authoritative pieces on the Covid-19 pandemic which were widely read, helping to raise awareness about the issues and also counter misinformation. In this regard, the new academy will play an important role in training journalists, especially in helping them hone their digital skills.

Mr Jacob, who has covered defence and was also a foreign correspondent in Indonesia in the 1990s before becoming an editor on the foreign and political desks, will have a team made up of representatives from all of SMT's newsrooms. The academy has signed an agreement with the Poynter Institute in Florida and is firming up an agreement with the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at Oxford University to participate in its fellowship programmes.
