Twenty journalists working for national media who cover law enforcement and the judiciary attended.
The programme included presentations from BIRN Albania editors on the support this organisation provides to journalists at both local and regional levels, to create an enabling environment for quality and investigative journalism.
The journalists shared story ideas with the editors on potential investigations, in-depth reporting on Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference in elections, and other topics.
Jelena Zorić, a prominent investigative journalist from Serbia, presented case studies on cross-border stories at the intersection of organised crime and politics, highlighting successful techniques, safety tips and strategies for building reliable sources.
The training was held as part of BIRN Albania’s project, “Building Resilience Against SOC in Albania Through Investigative Journalism,” supported by the British embassy in Albania.
