Training
The Philippine Human Rights Reporting Project designs and conducts
training that respond to journalists’ needs to develop and strengthen
their knowledge, skills and attitude on reporting and monitoring human
rights.
Journalists themselves partake in the development of the training
modules: their documented problems, challenges, insights and
recommendations to improve their broadcast or print reports on human
rights are the basis of the framework, design and conduct of the
training.
Training aims to contribute in improving the journalists’ reporting on
human rights with their respective outlets and in enhancing a
pro-active network of journalists that builds understanding and
expertise in human rights issues.
Journalists are trained in reporting crucial human rights issues
including rural poverty, armed conflict, peace and development, rights
of marginalized and disadvantaged groups, and international
humanitarian law.
They are also encouraged to begin individual blogs on the Project
website as part of the ongoing monitoring and awareness-building
process.
Strengthening journalism ethics and professionalism is an underlying
theme of the training. Safety and security issues are also featured
given the particular dangers facing Filipino journalists.
A core of journalists is further trained to be future trainers who
would help replicate the training to other media organizations and
communities.

disappearances of journalists and political activists. READ MORE
