Media Institute students will produce a supplement to the "Vedomosti" newspaper

In the autumn of 2023, students of the Media Institute will have the opportunity to create a colour s upplement to one of the most famous business publications in our country as part of a creative workshop curated by the "Vedomosti" newspaper. Such a startup is a unique opportunity for future media industry specialists to go through the full cycle of print media creation, from concept to monetization, while being directly inside the production "kitchen".

The creative workshop participants will be taught by a professional team of "Vedomosti" executives and journalists. Mentors will accompany the students during  all stages of the project. Students will also have at least three classes a month directly in the editorial office.
The project will include developing an idea for the application, creating a content plan and editorial materials, and creating a layout and graphic concept. As well as such aspects of media business as media registration, marketing and promotion, subscription to the publication, monetization, and many others.
Step-by-step, the students of the Institute will analyze the key aspects of working on a startup in the print media industry. They will also create the final media product for media consumers.

Competitive selection for the workshop will begin in September, which will be announced additionally on our website. Students of all courses and educational programs at the Media Institute will be able to take part in the competition by performing a special creative task. In October, those who have passed the selection process will start their classes.
