Media Helping Media

This site now has 20 media training resources which registered users of MHM can download free of charge.

The training modules are designed to assist all involved in helping build strong, sustainable, independent media in countries where freedom of expression is under threat.

Ten have been donated by users of this site; the others have been authored by the MHM team. More modules are being edited and will be added over the coming months.

There are three categories…

• Media ethics
• Media training
• Investigative journalism

The media ethics category looks at issues such as:

• accuracy
• impartiality
• fairness
• privacy

More are being added, covering offence, integrity and interactivity.

The media training category is mainly for traditional media organisations moving to new media platforms, such as the web and mobile, although most of the modules work for all media outlets. They explore issues such as:

• starting in online journalism
• managing a news website
• running a news meeting
• forward planning
• issue-led journalism
• creating a station sound - Philip Hilton
