BIRN Serbia and Montenegro and TV B92 cooperate in supporting minority journalism

Posted on

To compliment BIRN SaM’s Minority Training and Reporting Project, TV
B92 will host journalists who have undergone BIRN training, with a view
to providing them with further work experience and enhancing minority and
provincial perspectives in national broadcasting.

To date, two trainees from South Serbia’s RTV Presevo, Faruk Daliu
and Ivica Stepanovic, have benefited from this opportunity, producing a
news report on the basis of the Balkan Insight article Serbs Sell up in
Presevo
, BI No.9, 16 November
2005.

Faruk Daliu said of his experience, “BIRN has given me an opportunity
to learn how my favourite TV station functions. It was very useful to get
the chance to learn techniques from its news section through working directly
with its journalists”.

This project is supported by the British Embassy in Belgrade. For more information,
