# BBC Launches Virtual College of Journalism

According to the BBC's dot.life blog the BBC is going to open its virtual College of Journalism to the public.

> Thousands of pages of skills advice, video and guides to almost every aspect of journalism - from interview techniques to in-the-field reporting and even sports commentary - will be made available. ... Every aspect of online training that is currently available to 7,500 BBC journalists will be open to the public.

The College was originally opened in 2007 as a response to the Neil Report - which in turn was prompted by the Hutton Report and is resonsible for offering training for all BBC journalists.
