ARMENIANS, GEORGIANS TO COOPERATE ON RADIO TRAINING PROJECT
International Journalist's Network
Sept 19 2005
Radio journalists in Armenia and Georgia have until September 28 to
apply for a training program that will bring them together to work
on team reporting projects. The Media Diversity Institute (MDI)
is organizing the program, scheduled for October 1 to 10.
MDI says it will select eight participants for the program, four
each from Armenia and Georgia. Their base will be Yerevan during
the program, as the journalists will travel around Armenia to do
their reporting.
Before embarking, the team will decide what the topic of their
reporting will be. But it should be related to diversity issues, such
as those faced by minority groups, refugees or disabled people. As
MDI says, the subject can be "basically any group that is generally
marginalized by the mainstream media."
The journalists will produce their programs together and make them
available for free to stations in their home countries. Although
the training will be conducted mostly in Russian, the programs will
be produced in Armenian and Georgian and translated into English
for editing.
Interested radio journalists should send their CV and letter of
interest to their local MDI country coordinator. Armenian journalists
should contact Artur Papyan at [email protected],
telephone +374 (1) 53 00 67, or visit 9B Ghazar Parpetsi str., 375003,
Yerevan. Georgian journalists should contact Elena Aladashvili at
[email protected] or visit 10 Chovelidze St.,
Room No. 304, Tbilisi.
