BIRN Serbia is organising this October 29-30 training in investigative
journalism for reporters from the southern part of the country.
The six participants are a mixed group of young Albanian and Serbian
journalists who have completed BIRN's primary journalism training
course.
The training will be led by BIRN's development and editorial director
Gordana Igric and investigations coordinator Hugh Griffiths, together
with BIRN Serbia director Dragana Nikolic-Solomon.
The workshop comprises theoretical and practical training modules that
equip trainees with the tools they need to initiate investigations. A
number of real reporting projects will subsequently be carried out
under the close supervision and mentoring of BIRN staff.
Training will be based on the first seven modules of BIRN's
investigative training programme, including the investigative team
concept, the insight method, sourcing, libel issues, sensitive
information management, contacts and tip-offs, pursuing inquiries and
investigative interview techniques.
This Nis workshop forms part of BIRN's Serbia & Montenegro Minority
and Training project, funded by the British embassy in Belgrade through
the UK government's Global Opportunities Fund (GOF)
