(GambiaNewsOnline) - Lamin
Jahateh, editor and publisher of the blog, Gambia News Online, on Sunday left Banjul for Accra,
Ghana, to attend a two-week intensive course on “Freedom and Responsibility in
the Media”.
Conducted
in cooperation with the Ghana International Press Centre in Accra, the course
will take place from 17 to 28 September 2012.
According
to the organisers, the course aims to examine the interdependence between
quality and ethics in journalism.
Mr
Jahateh, who left together with three other journalists from different media
houses in the country, said: “The
training will strengthen and enhance my advocacy for freedom of expression in
The Gambia and thus to improve the conditions for democratisation and economic
and social development.”
The
course also aims at directing attention to one of the key ethical challenges:
the past as a major factor influencing the political climate and agenda of the
present.
The course will combine lectures on main issues, discussions, group work on special questions, and exercises on case studies which derive from the participants’ own work experiences.
