【Message from the Instructor】

Welcome to the Media Business Academy.

This internship specializes in the "media" and "content" fields. In daily life, "media" and "content" are things we encounter so naturally we rarely think about them.

However, the nature and form of media evolve with the times, and in today's era, they also vary depending on the moment and context. Similarly, content continues to grow at an unimaginable pace day and night, making it increasingly difficult to even describe it simply as "content." This constantly changing world is our workplace.

Our job is to adapt to these changes and make "media" and "content" exist within everyday life. The most crucial aspect of this is "making it happen." Precisely because the form is hard to see, precisely because the changes are so rapid, we must think about how to make it happen and then execute. At the Media Business School, with "execution capability" as our theme, we believe you will get a sense of this world that feels so ordinary.
