The Project OPEN Media Hub: Networking, on-the-job training and support to media professionals across the EU Neighbourhood area (EuropeAid/136510/DH/SER/Multi) is part of the European Union Programme OPEN Neighbourhood: opportunities, participation, engagement and networking” and is implemented by a consortium led by Thomson Foundation. 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 September 14-16, 2018 the OPEN Media Hub is organising a practical, production-led workshop for online, print and broadcast journalists from Azerbaijan focusing on telling impactful stories on issues related to EU-Azerbaijan cooperation.
During the course, participating journalists will focus on producing in real time, with existing materials available on-line and in country a story with a specific angle on an EU-funded project or activity. They will produce appealing and informative stories editorially relevant to their outlets in a format pertinent for news broadcasts. The stories will be published on their outlets and will be made available on the Open Media Hub’s platform and website, for exchange between participants locally and internationally.
