ENHANCING THE PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY OF INDEPENDENT PALESTINIAN MEDIA

Year when project approved: 
1989
Approved budget: 
US$19 925.00

The project seeks to improve the Palestinian media environment by fostering professional capacity of independent journalists and raising the overall standards of media quality. This will be accomplished through intensive media training of Ma’an Network’s journalists and editors and a complete restructuring of all editorial policies and procedures, built upon UNESCO’s key recommendations for developing media in Palestine. Specifically, trainings will be tailored to encourage community broadcasting, and updating the audio-visual media; strengthen objective analyses of state offices; broaden media coverage to include equal and nuanced portrayals of men and women; and promote a self-regulation system for the media that decreases self-censorship.
