OSCE Mission to Montenegro trains journalists and NGOs on gender aspects in investigative journalism

From 25 to 27 October 2021, the OSCE Mission to Montenegro organized an online training course on gender aspects in investigative journalism.

Through a series of lectures and practical tasks, international consultants Sanita Jemberga, Executive Director of the Baltic Center for Investigative Reporting, and Prune Antoine, correspondent for Le Nouvel Observateur, discussed with participants tools for gender sensitive reporting, available financial resources, supporting programmes and safety of women journalists in real life and online

Zuzana Paukova, Mission’s Media Programme Manager, said that the training course was a platform for all participants to discuss their needs, constraints and desires on how to enhance professional skill and experience. “I believe this online training course contributes to improving the professionalism of investigative journalism. The OSCE Mission to Montenegro will continue to support these programmes, especially in respect of gender equality and diversity,” said Paukova.

The Mission will continue to work with the Department for Media Studies and Journalism, as well as with media outlets and NGOs across the country, to further improve their skills and knowledge.
