BIRN SaM conducted a four-day workshop for ten journalists from around Montenegro. Training focused on the consequences of the independence referendum in Montenegro and related topics.

Journalists discussed with trainers and editors the most important issues facing the new state; how to tackle stories and structure them.

There were also talks on news analysis/feature production and diversity reporting, as part of the BIRN primary level training module.

The trainees worked with Dragana Nikolic Solomon, BIRN SaM director, Gordana Igric, BIRN editor in chief and Ana Petruseva, BIRN Macedonia Director.

Eight articles were commissioned for a special package on issues arising from the Montenegrin referendum.

Journalists that have successfully completed primary level training have become members of BIRN correspondents network, and the BIRN core team in Montenegro.

Sponsored by the British Embassy in Belgrade, the Montenegro training programme is part of a three-year-long minority journalism training and reporting project. For more info please contact Dragana Nikolic Solomon, BIRN SaM. (dragana@birn.eu.com)
