Training is available for some journalists, but not all. Often, access to training depends on budgets. Most interviewees confirmed that training is important, especially as newer technology means journalists are doing more. While CBC/Radio-Canada offers in-house training to its journalists on everything from storytelling, media law, video, and audio editing – and even hostile region and security awareness training – many journalists who work for private media say training is increasingly poorly resourced at their news organisations. Regular training seems to be a luxury largely restricted to news organisations with the necessary capital.
Most professional organisations – including CAJ and RTDNA – frequently offer training, workshops, and panel discussions at their annual conventions.
