Training Journalists

By Elizabeth A Appleyard | Program Administrator

Giving Tuesday is coming up on 28 November and GlobalGiving is giving away $1.2 million in bonus funds!!

The more money we raise that day through donations to our projects, the greater our share of the bonus funds.

Can you help us by donating on Tuesday 28th November? 

A month long workshop called Applied Journalism Skills was held for 30 people in order to improve the academic level of journalism students, journalists and media employees. This was a cooperation between the Turkish Tikai Office, Meraj Television and AIL Herat Office. 

The first session included the Managing Director of Meraj Global Radio and Television who taught the participants about the principles and foundations of journalism and the history of world media. Other topics included: the basics of journalism;  photo and video editing with the computer;  photography and videography using mobile phones;  editing photos and videos with mobile phones. The participants were enthusiastic about the workshop and felt this type of class was needed to help them become better journalists, which in turn will help society by providing informative and accurate content. 

TV Meraj: In another collaboration between Turkey's Tika Office and World TV Meraj, two separate studio spaces were decorated for the culture and education programming. These two spaces will be used to produce the literacy education programming and to deliver university courses virtually, such as management and leadership, journalism, psychology and computing.  Education is one of the main objectives of Meraj TV and the station has produced hundreds of educational programs since its inception. 

Thank you for your continued interest in the Meraj Media enterprises.
