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
