TunisiaEU-funded “Media in Libya” project: Another step toward developing journalists capacities
A training on «Writing and research skills» took place on 23-26 July and targeted nine journalists from different regions in Libya. The training was part of the EU-funded project “Media in Libya – Stability through Reconciliation”.
The training provided the participants with journalistic writing and research skills through a comprehensive approach that included the ethical and legal dimensions in addition to the technical and professional aspects and giving them the chance to eventually put these skills into practice. The trainers were introduced to the role of Media, rules and work ethics for journalists, the Journalist Code of Conduct, conflict sensitive journalism, hate speech, news writing, as well research and fact-checking tools and methods.
The participants did not only interact with the trainers but they also participated in practical exercises requiring them to write various news articles according to the learnt professional standards and using the acquired skills and knowledge.
The project “Media in Libya – Stability through Reconciliation” focuses on the role of free and independent media in promoting Libya’s transformation process. The project is funded by the European Union (EU) and carried out by DW Akademie, Germany’s leading institution for international media development.
