Media workers on course of writing neutral reports on violence
Monday, February 8th 2010 3:30 PM
Sulaimaniyah, Feb. 8 (AKnews) – Two civil society organizations in Sulaimaniyah have opened a training course in the city for media workers on how to protect women and write reports about violence against them professionally.
The course which has been opened by Civil Development Organization (CDO), in cooperation with the International Rescue Committee (IRC), includes 20 media workers taught by experts, Director of CDO Adnan Mohammed said.
The way of writing a report about violence against women is what is most stressed in the course, Mohammed said, because “sometimes they (reporters) write reports which only add to violence rather than reducing it”
Journalists have to learn to write neutral reports to avoid further violence, he added.
The course comes days after the Directorate of Violence against Women Watch released an 88-page report stating that violence persists to be a pressing issue.
