In Bhutan, the media scene has substantially changed particularly following democratisation. As of now, there are twelve newspapers, five magazines, one TV station (with others in the pipe line), and 6 private FM radio channels apart from the growing film industry.
The trainees of BMCI will be equipped with the skills required to promote a professional and independent media.
Training programmes are developed to suit the needs of the local media market. The spectrum of training covers not only news media but also areas such as film, public relations and communications.
The courses are practical, craft-based and encourage critical thought about media policy and the role of media in a Gross National Happiness society.
In order to sustain training activities in the long run, BMCI aspires to tie up with reputed international Institutes/organisations and build a pool of trained local trainers.
