 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…
The media ethics category looks at issues such as:
- accuracy
- impartiality
- fairness
- privacy
More are being added, covering offence, integrity and interactivity.
