The workshop will have Ms. Salwa Charfi, a Tunisian Professor and prominent journalist based in Tunis, as its trainer.
Around twenty five participant journalists representing a wide variety of media organizations will be trained at the workshop, which will focus on professional coverage of elections, neutrality in coverage, in-depth investigative journalism, Internet research methodologies, and other aspects related to elections. This comes as the whole country is looking forward for the upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for April 2003.
