The Media Agenda, a media NGO besed in Churchill's Town and headed by the GPU's chairman Madi MK Ceesay, is organising a training workshop for 12 journalists from March 4 - 16 at the Kairaba Beach Hotel.

The training workshop is aimed at enhancing the capacity of journalists in the area of reporting issues relating to "human rights".

The capacity building training is expected to bring together journalists from the print and electronic media houses in the country to adequately prepare them for "human rights" journalism.

The UK and United States embassies in Banjul provided the funds to help actualise the potential of the practicing journalists.

The seminar is among a series of trainings being run by the NGO for local journalists. Twelve journalists are currently being trained on basic journalism through a distance learning programme, being facilitated by the Media Agenda and administered by the Indiana University USA.
