Announcement follows:
Training journalists in post-communist Europe and Central Asia has been a key part of TOL’s mission from the outset. From our early emphasis on online, on-the-job training for young reporters, we have expanded into organizing specialized seminars for the region’s journalists on a variety of themes, such as covering EU integration, war crimes, diversity, reconciliation, and corruption.
These seminar topics are often subjects on which commercial media provide little or no training and that they rarely cover.
TOL announces the launch of Reporting EU Integration, a journalism training project aimed at helping reporters from Bosnia, Serbia, Belarus, Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, Romania, and Kosovo obtain the skills and knowledge necessary to report on issues related to European integration.
The year-long project includes distance learning and learning-by-doing components as well as a seminar on reporting EU issues which will be held in Prague in late September. The project’s working language is English.
During the training participants will broaden their knowledge of the politics and economics of the European accession process and became familiar with the work of the Brussels bureaucracy. Scholars, policy makers and senior journalists will share their insights on a range of topics, including the economics of enlargement; experiences of the new member states; trade liberalization in SEE, trade between the new member states on the one side and the SEE and former Soviet states on the other; how to navigate the European Council and Commission; and how journalists can decipher EU jargon and navigate Brussels.
Professional journalists from the above-mentioned countries are eligible for participation. To apply, please send your CV and a cover letter by 15 August 2007 to training@tol.org , with “Reporting EU Integration” in the subject line.
