The Consortium includes Action Global, European Journalism Centre, Free Press Unlimited, France Médias Monde, Ipsos Mori and Particip. The OPEN Media Hub project follows up on two previous EU funded projects – the Media Neighborhood and the European Neighbourhood Journalism Network.
On March 3-5, 2018 the OPEN Media Hub is organising an advanced production training for journalists working for online media in Palestine.
The training will be practically orientated and will focus on the best practice of producing attractive content and multi-platform reporting, and social media integration. Thematically the workshop is focused on covering the relations with the EU, and participants will be expected to develop stories on this issue ready to be published by their media and shared internationally via the project’s Content Sharing Platform.
The training will be led by Nahed Abou-Zeid, international media expert, former correspondent and bureau chief for Al Arab TV , BBC World Service and BBC Arabic.
