ICFJ: 2-week online course on violence prevention reporting
The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) is organising a 2-week online course on violence prevention, as part of its Violence Prevention Reporting Program that is conducted in partnership with the Word Health Organisation (WHO).
Despite its scale and impact, violence against children is rarely covered in the media outside of one-off stories around specific incidents. Violence prevention efforts also receive little coverage. Journalists thus play a key role in amplifying violence prevention issues that garner the attention of the public and policymakers.
The 2-week online course will take place in December 2021 and is designed to enable journalists around the world to strengthen their reporting on issues related to violence against children and effective interventions. The course will additionally train participants on reporting practices such as the basics of data journalism, fact checking and audience engagement.
The deadline for applications is Friday, November 19, 11:59 pm EST. You can apply HERE.
