Bridging Boundaries: Ushering a new era of cross-border labour migration reporting (English)
Cross-border journalism is increasingly being used by professional journalists, notably those reporting on labour migration. By joining forces and working collaboratively along migration corridors, journalists can produce compelling and accurate reports on complex migration topics, and overcome some of the inherent constraints related to reporting labour migration, such as limited financial resources or mobility. Journalism students and their educators can also play a key part in building the skill set needed by future journalists to collaborate across corridors.
The objectives of the webinar are to:
a) Explore the relevance of cross-border journalism in reporting on labour migration;
b) Present and discuss a recent ILO cross-border collaboration between journalism schools in Uganda and Jordan;
c) Encourage journalism educators and journalists to consider cross-border collaborations, notably in the framework of the annual ILO global media competition on labour migration.
