Sensitizing Media Reporting Conflicts: Regional Dialogues
In SAFHR's Media and Conflict programme, the flagship is the regional
workshop series which brings together a mix of mid career professionals,
senior journalists, owner publishers, television proprietors and
cultural studies scholars. The workshops are designed to provide busy
media practitioners a respite to introspect on the power and interest
which inhere in routines of news gathering, best (and worst) practices
and the journalist as political actor choosing sides. Journalists are
invited on the basis of their demonstrated commitment to a journalism of
value. The workshop structure is interactive and non-hierarchical. It is
designed to imaginatively stretch understanding as well as focus on
empirically based analysis of pragmatic ‘do's and don'ts’.
