11 07 2007 BIRN Bulgaria started the second phase of its Reporting on Minorities project in June. The first phase, which included a three-day workshop in which majority and minority journalists from national, regional an international media discussed standards, practices and ideas for media reports on minorities, was successfully completed. The second phase involves the commissioning and research of seven articles on the issues faced by ethnic minorities in Bulgaria.
With the
assistance of BIRN Bulgaria’s editorial team, six journalists from
BIRN’s local network are in the process of producing feature
articles that, through personal stories, present the broader
situation of some of Bulgaria’s traditional ethnic minority groups
– the Roma, the Turks, the Pomaks. One article told the story of
refugees, while another analysis summed up the general situation of
those groups in the country.
The
articles will be published on BIRN’s website in Bulgarian. After
that, they will be translated in English and
all Balkan Insight languages and
distributed among Balkan Insight’s subscribers.
In
addition, the articles, together with other training materials and
information on the project, will be printed in a booklet. Available
in Bulgarian and in English, it will be distributed among those who
participated in the project, as well as other interested media and
NGO organizations. Albena Shkodrova, BIRN Bulgaria’s director, will
present the booklet to editors in regional media.
The
project is supported by the US Department of State.
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.
