Country: Azerbaijan
A cross section of TV reporters from throughout Azerbaijan will gather for a Team Reporting Project in Baku from May 6-15, 2010. The team of eight journalists will work together to produce a programme for TV in Azerbaijan. The reporters will work under the leadership of a UK-based trainer and a local Azeri TV producer. Participants will learn to better understand the key international standards related to defamation, hate speech, and other Freedom of Expression issues and through the training will translate this understanding into an informative, professional and accessible piece for television.
The event is made possible by the support of the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office and through cooperation between the Media Diversity institute and its partner organisations Article 19 and Yeni Nesil. There are still some places available for participants to apply. If you are a working TV reporter/journalists with at least 2 years experience working for a TV station in Azerbaijan please send your CV as well as a brief paragraph expressing your interest to Lydia El-Khouri at Lydia.elkhouri@media-diversity.org.
