Case Studies/Media Helping Media
Journalists should share their knowledge freely in order to transfer skills and build capacity in places where the media is still developing. — David Brewer
Overview
Media Helping Media was set up in 2005 to help the media in transition, post-conflict countries and areas where the media is still developing. The site was created because some areas of the world were being neglected in terms of media training. Many of the 100+ training modules have since been translated by various media training and media development organisations and are being used worldwide. Some are used in online learning programmes. More free training modules are always welcome and anyone is invited to contribute.
