The training aims at packaging, production and airing of programs on Gender and Equality through the media.
During the start of the workshop the station Manager of Access Radio Mr. Tindi Lavrick appreciated the efforts made by NPC-SS in timely conducting this workshop. The manager further said the coming of NPC-SS to Yei has been approved by the county government of yei because information that goes out benefits the community of the county.
However, the NPC-SS Capacity development officer said the training will equip the station staff with knowledge on how to package, produce programs that discuss issues on gender. He urged the media to take these skills seriously during their programming so that women issues are covered and the public is aware of them.
The two days training will cover basic journalism, code of conduct and ethics of journalists, gender responsive reporting and protection of gender journalists in the media.
NPC-SS is committed to extend such training to other parts of the Country to improve and fill the gap on handling women or gender related issues in the media and the journalism profession. Photo credited NPC-SS.
