Journalists from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka are invited to apply to a free training program.
The International Center for Journalists and the U.S. State Department are organizing a two-part program - a six-week online course followed by a five-day conference in Sri Lanka.
The online course will teach 75 journalists about digital journalism - standards for digital content, writing for the web, website design, shooting and producing web video, and media and copyright law. Participants will propose in-depth reporting projects on topics relevant to their region.
The conference will bring together the 25 best participants from the online course who propose the best projects. These projects will be grouped for regional cooperation and journalists will use this time to brainstorm and collaborate on their projects.
The projects will be broadcast or published by each journalist’s media organization. Applicants should be able to communicate well in English, Hindi or Urdu; interpretation will be provided. All expenses for this program are paid.
The deadline to apply is December 12.
