Investigative reporting and personal skills

June 2003

Twelve PNG journalists joined 10 journalism students from Divine Word University in a five-day workshop on investigative reporting and skills in assertiveness and personal communication.

The program’s aim was to help journalists deal with the barriers to effective journalism in PNG, such as reporting restrictions, threats and violence.

The workshops were funded by AusAID via the Australian National University’s Centre for Democratic Institutions as part of the effort to promote good governance in the region. News media employers funded travel for journalists where needed.
