Diversity reporting workshop focuses on human rights
Feb 01, 2006
An upcoming workshop for Georgian journalists will focus on diversity issues, and in particular on coverage of disadvantaged children. The training is scheduled for February 24 to 26 in Likani.
The Media Diversity Institute and the Georgian office of Save the Children are organizing the workshop with support from the European Community. The U.S. Agency for International Development is sponsoring the program through its Rebuilding Lives Project.
The event will include training on professional reporting and roundtable discussions on how news coverage can help protect children at risk.
Organizers hope the workshop will help journalists better understand issues related to disadvantaged children. Besides basic journalism training, the workshop will give participants a chance to discuss how reporters could be advocates for at-risk children.
There is not an open application process; organizers are contacting local editors to recommend their reporters for the workshop. For more information, contact Gvantsa Asatiani, spokeswoman for Save the Children, Georgia, at gvantsa@savechildren.ge or scgeorgia@savechildren.ge; or telephone +995 32 99 64 00 or +995 32 99 54 54.
