16 05 2007 BIRN Bulgaria has successfully completed the first phase of its three-month long Reporting on Minorities project. The main event was a three-day workshop which took place May 8-10 in Sofia. The six Bulgarian journalists from national, regional and ethnic media who participated gave the workshop positive feedback and found it very useful and interesting.
During the event, the journalists met Andrew Lam, a writer and editor of New America Media - the largest national online collaboration of ethnic news organisations in the US. Lam discussed the different aspects of the ethnic minorities' development in the US and the role of mainstream and minority media.
"Even though [his presentation] concerned completely different regions in the world, the process of the establishment of ethnic media [in the US] can serve as a showcase and a source from which to learn when considering the situation in Bulgaria," said participant Beynur Suleyman, a reporter at Zaman weekly.
At the beginning of 2010 BIRN network published Digging Deeper - A Guide for Investigative Journalists in the Balkans, written in cooperation with Sheila Coronel, Director of the Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism and professor of professional practice at Columbia University, New York.
