Since 2001, the Producers Academy has been a six-day professional development workshop designed to advance the skills of public media content creators, both independent and station based, to develop high-quality multiplatform content. In 2011, the curriculum was adapted to include sessions on transparency in journalism, multiplatform production and one-on-one project mentoring. The workshop also expanded to online audiences with the introduction of digital learning modules to serve content creators who are unable to attend the onsite workshop in Boston.
