Ecuador: Best Practices and Copyrights
USAGM’s Business Development and Comunica EP from Ecuador organized a workshop focused on best practices, copyrights, and ethical behavior as a journalist.
On June 12th, 2023, Regional Marketing Officer (RMO) Iscar Blanco and Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB) Standards & Practices Hector Manuel Castro trained more than 30 participants from Ecuador affiliate Comunica (El Telegrafo, Publica FM and Ecuador TV) on topics like fairness, objectivity, balance, double sources, bias, breaking news coverage, interviews, attribution, and use of drones to cover stories.
At the end of the workshop, participants asked questions for more than one hour about the history of Voice of America (VOA) and OCB, artificial intelligence, and the future of journalism.
