Region/Country: Azerbaijan
Eight young Azeri journalists participated in a production orientated training event, organised by the Media Diversity Institute in Baku between October 13-22, 2009. With help from experienced UK and local tutors, they produced articles on diversity issues that were placed in leading Azeri newspapers in the form of a supplement.
The course is part of a 2-year project, jointly managed by Article 19 and MDI, designed to strengthen freedom of expression (FoE) in Azerbaijan through advocacy for legal reform, in particular abolition of criminal defamation, and capacity building of the media. The project is funded by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office. For more info contact [email protected]
