01 11 2006 Eight journalists from Serbia are traveling to London in mid-November to take part in a study programme focusing on reporting minority issues, which has been organised by the British Association for Central and Eastern Europe.
From November 13 - 19, the journalists will be hosted by Westminster
University , Ealing Racial Equality Council, the Commission for Racial
Equality, the BBC, the National Union of Journalists, the Media
Diversity Institute and other institutions.
They
will hear a number of presentations on the media in the UK, the ethnic
make-up of Britain, Media and Islam post 7/7, reporting minorities and
crime. There will be a focus on relations between media and ethnic
minority groups and professional standards in reporting on such
sensitive topic.
Most of the visiting
journalists are BIRN Serbia contributors and members of the
organisation’s minority reporting network, who’ve received training
under the Minority Training and Reporting Project.
The
British Association for Central and Eastern Europe is an independent
organisation, financed by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office,
which organises seminars and study visits for media, parliamentarians,
NGOs aimed at promoting civil society and democracy.
BIRN Serbia is giving administrative support to the organisers of the study tour.
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.
