Human resource development in media is a continuous process that improves the knowledge, skills and awareness of media professionals. Basic and advanced training is essential to increase the investigative capacities of media workers. There are millions of journalists working in different media – these are perhaps the most influential knowledge brokers in society. But many journalists from developing countries have neither sufficient training avenues nor facilities to develop their skills. IPDC considers human resource capacity-building for media as one of its main priorities. The following projects provide an illustration of the type of projects IPDC has supported in the area of human resources development.
