IWPR Training Programme
is designed to work with journalists to develop their professional
capacities as part of our overall effort to strengthen local media.
Whether a young reporter starting out or an experienced professional,
all journalists benefit from continuing skills development, particularly
in sharing experiences from different media traditions.
IWPR depends
heavily on the power of the Internet to achieve impact. Visit
our communications
page for more info.
Capacity
Senior editors
provide evaluation and feedback, and regularly run training
sessions and workshops.
IWPR training is fully integrated into the editorial
process. On-going discussion, feedback and formal written
article
evaluations form an integral part of the on-going production
work of all editors. In addition, IWPR works with experienced
journalists around the world; they examine the work of trainee
journalists and write author evaluations as part of our Senior
Mentor Programme.
