24 09 2007 Seven journalists from leading Albanian publications attended a workshop in Tirana on September 20, as part of BIRN’s ongoing reporting project
The group comprised reporters whose aim
is to become regular BIRN contributors. Participants in the workshop
included journalists from the dailies Koha Jone, Korrieri, Shqip and
the magazine Mapo.
Individual meetings were also held with
reporters interested in writing for Balkan Insight, BIRN’s online
publication.
Special attention was devoted to
the issues of sources and interviews - finding the right people,
checking their reliability, building a network, using anonymous
sources and protecting them, dealing with individuals in positions of
power and confronting interviewees with relevant information and
arguments.
During the workshop, BIRN’s Albania
Project Manager & Editor, Besar Likmeta, worked with journalists
on the preparation of articles dealing with specific subjects, such
as corruption in the health service and in the educational system.
Several investigative articles were commissioned and outlined.
The workshop was organized with the
help of the Washington-based National Endowment for Democracy, a
private, not-for-profit foundation.
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.
