Our toolkits
Technology has and will continue to transform investigative journalism. The goal of this project is to ensure that broadcast journalists in Sub-Saharan Africa feel empowered by new technology and use it to continue to deliver powerful reporting that drives change.
This toolkit was developed by the Public Media Alliance with funding from the Grace Wyndham Goldie (BBC) Trust Fund, as part of our digital investigative journalism project. Thank you to Mr Guy Porter for his role in developing this resource.
Des vidéos produites par des formateurs et une liste complète de ressources avec des hyperliens, des rapports textuels supplémentaires et des présentations d’ateliers, cette boîte à outils aidera les professionnels des médias francophones et créolophones à rendre compte de manière responsable d’une pandémie, d’une crise ou d’une catastrophe tout en préservant leur propre sécurité.
Cette boîte à outils a été créée dans le cadre du projet PMA/PANOS/UNESCO « Protéger les journalistes en Haïti et lutter contre la désinformation et la mésinformation pendant une pandémie ».
