kanti.kumar@oneworld.net -----Original Message----- Hi This is an announcement call for nominations for women
development journalists in Sri Lanka, Maldives and India. One World South Asia and its media partners are organizing a
7-day workshop for women journalists working in the field of environment and
human rights in Bangalore from November 8- 14, 2003. This is the second in a
series of workshops meant for women journalists in South Asia. Many journalists use the Internet and other web-based technology
very cursorily in their work. This has led to a huge under-utilisation of this
very powerful technology. The workshop is to familiarise women journalists with
the utility of Internet based technologies with a view to improving their
skills. There are two aspects to the workshop. The first is
communicating more effectively using web-based technology through websites,
mailing lists, discussion forums, web radio and video by producing content for
these media. The second is to use the Internet more effectively as a research
tool that looks at better use of the existing search engines, news groups and
mailing lists. We will send you a schedule of the workshop and the topics that
we will cover shortly. You could apply or nominate a suitable candidate from your
organization for the workshop. The last day for nominations is October 8, 2003.
Please ensure that the nominations are complete in all
respects in order to help us decide better. We also require a CV of the nominee and an undertaking by
her on publishing 3 articles on how the workshop has helped her perform better
at work. These publications should take place within 4 months of the nominee
returning to work after the workshop. We will pay for travel by economy airfare to and from
Bangalore and also provide food and accommodation during the workshop. We will
pay ONLY for the room rent and not for other incidental expenses such as
telephone calls, laundry, food, etc. Nomination criteria 1. The
nominee needs to have reported consistently on topics related to human rights
and sustainable development including, but not limited to, environment,
children, education, gender issues, population, poverty, refugees, water and
sanitation, wildlife, biodiversity, climate change, forests, genetics,
pollution, energy, AIDS and other diseases, narcotics, civil liberties, media
freedom and ownership, ethics and value systems, law, crime, corruption,
conflict and conflict resolution, nuclear issues, peace and terrorism. 2. The
nominee needs to have reported over the last three or four years on these
topics and should have evidence of this, either online, in print or in
radio/TV. If you or people you know of, fit the bill, please contact
Anu Kumar at anu.kumar@oneworld.net
and we will send her/them the form. Do not want to burden the list with an
attachment. Kanti Kumar Editor, Digital Opportunity Channel www.digitalopportunity.org email: kanti.kumar@oneworld.net |
