PROJECTS: Southern Lebanon Magazine Publishes Supplements Written by Students

Southern Lebanon Magazine Publishes Supplements Written by Students

Through a small grant, Chou?oun Janoubiyah (Southern Affairs) magazine, based in Sidon, Lebanon, trained young journalism students from the southern region of Lebanon to improve their reporting techniques. After the trainings, the magazine provided follow-up support to help participants write articles using the new skills they had acquired. These articles were published in two Youth Supplements that were inserted in the December 2005 and January 2006 issues of Chou?oun Janoubiyah. The supplements, ?The South: In the Pens of its Youth (PDF),? and ?Southern Panorama: Issues and Trends (PDF),? are in full color and written in Arabic. Topics covered in the supplements include voting issues, sexual harassment, child labor and marriage. Besides their inclusion in the magazine, the supplements were also distributed to university students.
