The Role

professionalism of the Media is crucial during elections periods. The Media must therefore be taught how to report on campaigns and elections, how to organise televised debates, how to produce programming about elections and the electoral process and, most importantly, how to maintain transparent elections and hold elected officials accountable for decisions. This training programme is designed to take media practitioners at every level, through the essentials
of elections reporting and an overview of the basic skills required to establish and maintain high levels
of professionalism in their work particularly at this time. The course consists of a series of workshops covering a Five (5) day period that will cover introductory concepts about elections and specific techniques for reporting on elections.
