Training is BIRN’s core activity, aimed to strengthen professional capacities of journalists and media outlets across the region.
BIRN training activities are designed to build journalists professional skill to produce relevant reporting that has an impact on societies, opinion-shapers and decision-makers in the Balkans.
Justice Report is a specialist reporting agency focusing on war crimes trials taking place before local courts; development of the local legal system; and efforts to come to terms with the past.
The Minority Media Training and
Reporting Project aims to improve standards of journalism in areas of Serbia with substantial
minority populations and to improve understanding of minority issues among the
mainstream population, thereby challenging the current mood of suspicion and
misunderstanding.
