Training for journalists in Samarkand
July 29, 2024
This workshop included field trips to potential solution story sites. A visit to the IT Village in Oqsoy, Nurabad district, Samarkand region, provided material for practical exercises, allowing participants to apply what they learned during the three days of training sessions. These hands-on experiences were crucial for their learning. Participants brainstormed potential stories and discussed how to approach them, gaining a comprehensive understanding of solutions journalism and its real-life applications.
Beyond acquiring skills and knowledge in solutions journalism, a key component of this workshop was encouraging and enabling trainees to refrain from corrupt practices and maintain a professional attitude toward their work. They now understand that upholding these principles ensures their security and better prepares them for daily challenges.
