Media and Development

This section is intended to help people who are planning or running journalism training and media development programs. There is a lot of useful research that has been done on best practices and we have narrowed it down for your convenience so that you can read about the experiences of groups around the world who are involved in training. We have included some of the more interesting studies we have found on the role the media play in promoting development.

We have prepared backgrounders on how to cover a variety of topics. Eventually, each backgrounder will be accompanied by case studies which provide a summary of what has happened in different countries.

A few times a year we organize workshops on finance and economics for reporters. These usually last from one-four days and include presentations by economists, academics and others.
